This is Dixie, littersister to Sawath and Salaween (Zelda).
Please write a critique!
She is about 9 months on the picture, so still puppy...

She likes other dogs, but not all females.
She likes people and is not shy at all.

Hi there
 
My (totally ignorant opinion)
Beautiful legs, head neck, ridge (what I can see) chest colour and feminine expression good body length, underline.
If any fault then back 'dips' a little and rear angulation a bit stiff and high - high short tail.

Thanx Fabia!

She is holding her tail a bit to one side so it looks shorter than it really is. It could be a bit longer though.
Also the tail is only halfway up on the picture, it´s straighter when erect.

How old she is from this picture ? there are no much different type between her littermate sisters, share the same good front and share the same fault in rear or croup ? need see the reality when she moving. Otherwise she have good body lenght and correct lenght neck  from the picture display here, the topline could be looks better when the wither showing up when mature. Of course, I prefer to see her paws?.....

Susanne,
 
Sorry to take so long.   I used my picture program to help me "see" Dixie. I find her remarkably balanced and a very nice femine bitch! She is not overdone or underdone in any way. She would be one of my choices for a brood bitch if I had a TRD breeding program. That is all said without seeing her move.
 
Here is my illustration;
 
Excellent front shoulder angle, beautiful neck placement upon the shoulders, lovely arch, ear set and expression.
I find nothing wrong with her topline. You can see where I marked the top of her pelvis and the rear croup angle.
As in all TRDs I've seen to date, the rear angles are more open and the thigh bones longer, but Dixie's hocks are
nicely let down and she is balanced in the rear. How is she to see moving? Are front and rear balanced. Does she
flow with little to no wasted energy?  Please post any front shots you might have of her. I'd also like to see more of her head from different angles.  I too think her tail only appears short in the photo.   What colour do you call her?

Thanx for Your critique, Ann! :-)
Better late than never!
I hope others also are late, and not "never"... *blink, blink*

She moves good, but I did not get to see how good... thousands of people there and no space for her to show her moves... :-/ (she is a puppy from me, but sold to new owners)
I hope to see her better this summer. Or maybe she will come to Stockholm this spring. Hope so! (they live on the other side of Sweden)
But I got lots of time to study her sitting/standing (a couple of hours...). She looks very similar to her sister; Salaween (Zelda). They even have the same shape of ridge, a broader one (Sawath has needle).
Dixie and Zelda are like twins in anatomy, but lots of differences when compared with Sawath.
Dixie has very nice qualities. But a bit too long croup I think, making her tail seem set a bit low. Not visible on this picture (?), but in reality. Zelda has the same, but Sawath has not.
Dixie and Zelda also have shorter head than Sawath (nose).
All 3 have excellent front legs, in this Serge is right :-)
Except a bit too long croup, I think Dixies topline is very nice...
Dixie and Zelda has same color too; dark blue. Sawath is also blue, but lighter in color than her sisters.
Dixie has perfect proportion height-lenght of body. Sawath is a bit too short, almost same lenght as height.

Topline-very good, appears to have slight sway
Underline,very good,nice tuck
Neck excellent-very nice arch
Excellent expression
Ears appear slightly large in this pic,cant see wll, maybe illusion
nice tail set, but cant really jusge from pic
rear - very good
front-appears excellent
coat-my preference would be longer-appears too short and shows to much skin
color -very nice, but not preferred.Appears to have a lavender cast
overall-very good-still developing, would like more substance,but she is still young

Oh, now I saw the ears!
No, they are not that big as appearing on the photo! I think it´s something black in the background that gives the ear "extension" *S*
Her ears are not small, but I don´t think they are too big. I think they are of very good size, and also very well set to the sides.
