So, I don't have a pic at the moment, BUT Asha's head seems really small in comparison with the rest of her body and does not seem to be growing AT ALL !!! I've noticed some of the smaller female Dutch Shepherds seem to have a narrow head. HAs anyone else noticed this with their dog?

Elli has a really narrow head. I think it looks more like the longer haired Belgians. Odin has a very large head, so together they look even more extreme. I didn't have Elli as a puppy, but she's 2 and around 44lbs now.

I have always notices a difference in the female DS and Mals from the Males, the females always seem dainty and the males very bulky.

She's only about 4 months old. I hope it fills in a little bit! The only real problem is she's been going through the cat door since we got her at about 8 weeks and now her head fits but it's a complete struggle from the neck down to get through!! It's hilarious to watch!

awwwww she is still young yet, you had to see Sadie at that age, what a miss matched bag of bones !

My parents always had a doggie door on the screen door, thalie could crouch down and go through, this door was for Basset hounds mind you, not big dogs LOL. it took sadie a looooooooooong time to figure out how to get through, plush she is taller than Thalie. Sadie would make i through though. She even learned how to go through fast. The problem was, when the screen door was replaced............no one told Sadie, so she crouched down and put her own doggie door in the new screen.
