neckline- better length, and seems it should have a nice arch
ears too big for head proportions
 
head -proportions good with nice subtle stop, yet clearly defined
color -very good.
Coat looks beautiful and in great condition
front- too wide a distance between legs. Chest should be slightly deeper to elbows. She seems slightly easty/westy
Topline - high in the rear, but typical of developing females. need better stack shot to judge it.
 
rear- can not  make good evaluation from these shots.
Lips, appear good, might be slightly loose.
Good height to length proportions.
Tail- good length. Not carried up and too thin. mouse like.
eyes- appear correct shape
underline- well tucked
 
Overall she possesses blue type, so does seem to have many traits of a blue dog. She has a very feminine appearance, yet a tuff bitch look. james

Overall appearence; a young female, still needs time to develope...

Head;
Very good pigmentation nose, lips etc
Seems to have a bit loose lips
Eyes seems good in shape, also seems to have correct color (SEEMS, cause I can´t really see them that good...)
Nice wrinkles on forehead
Good shape of ears, but slightly too big in proportion to head and not well set (pointing too much upwards). They may point more to the sides as she matures.

Nice neck, long with an arch.
Shoulders seems a bit too straight.
Ribcage not developed yet. Chest should be deeper.
Front paws pointing a bit outwards.

Underline good, but topline below average. Should become better when she is older.
Could have some more meat on her bones.
Good proportion height - lenght of body.
Croup appears a bit too rounded. Hard to tell from those pictures... also it´s easier to see if the tail is up...

Her tail could be slightly longer. "Rat-tail". Too thin.
Can´t judge how she is carrying it...

Moderate rear angulations. I prefer this over over-angulated.

Color not solid. Blue in pedigree?? Not really black. Perhaps she´s going to shed soon also (a bit brownish in coat).
Coat very shiny and in very good condition.

Katie,
 
Sakuna is a striking dog! I love her intensity, she is beautiful.
 
That being said, let me give you my evaluation as best as I can with the photos provided (PLEASE update your dogs photos);
 
She is very blue type....with the straight rear and front angulation, yet as someone else said, her rear angulation is better than most blues I've seen, with well let down hocks.
 
I can't judge what appears to be her wide front chest, because I think she is also standing wide.  My guess is her straight shoulders add to the impression of a wide fore front.
 
Her head is overall very nice, with beautiful strong expression. Eyes very nice, ears are set a bit to high, but that is minor. I think her upper lips look a bit long, not because they are, but because she is weak in the under jaw.
 
Lovely ridge!
 
Be sure when you get her hips x-rayed you also do her elbows. Also have her knees checked. I like Sakuna and see no reason to breed her, it's just finding a male with strong points where she is weak. Probally best to use a red.  JMHO.
 
Ann
