One thing I have an issue about evaluating fronts from the front, is that I like to as part of the evaluation look at the whole front, that means where it is placed, how it falls underneath the body, and how the head and neck fit into the body, so part of that is seeing puppies from the side as well. So, I am including the side shots of these puppies which may help some of you on the first puppy especially.
Boy #1 (is he still long in pastern from this angle? Does he have enough front prosternum at this age? Or is he just simply taller on leg?)
Boy #2
Girl # 1 (yes, everyone will know who this is.)
Girl #2 (as noted from someone, this puppy never takes the best photos, even as an adult we still have trouble, so it is harder to evaluate this puppy.)
So, now seeing the side shots and how the fronts are set, would you stick to your comments earlier on the front view?

Yes, I've been trying to make time to post pictures on shoulder placement as well. I have a couple of good comparison examples picked out.
from these angles, I can see that boy #2 seems like his front is farther forward than ideal.... girl #1 is still the best (of course, we all know this ;-) )
Boy #1 doesn't look as bad from this angle....
you're right... this is why we need to see all angles to make a good decision on puppies..
I'm not sure whether it's pasterns, forearm, or length of leg on boy number 1 now... now I'll have to look at forearms!!! ;-) Darn this learning curve thing! :)
C-myste...Yeah! Can't wait for those pictures!
