Wow. I think you win the award for the best pictures to ID from. I wish we could save this post for future members coming to ask if their dog looks like a DS.

I'd say your girl looks very DS to me, assuming height and weight are in the right ranges. The only things that look a little non-DS is the shorter smoother hair and the blocker head. I think only being a year old though, she still has time to develop and her coat might get a little longer. She looks very similar to Odin when he was that age. He's almost 4 now and has grown a beautiful coat on a good diet and his body finally caught up to his head.

Id second the excellent pictures to look at her. She is beautiful and Id have to say yes that she is DS. I agree on the blocky head though. The females I have seen are much more lady like than the males. But she is beautiful.
