You could also go to the breeds parent club websight and see what they say are the standards and what would cause your dog to be disquilified. AKC may also have these available for you to look up.

It is virtually impossible to determine a dog's conformation to a breed standard from a picture. Pictures are two dimensional and things like depth of brisket, angle of shoulder layback and the like cannot be determined unless you can put your hands on the dog. It is also impossible to see the bite and movement from a photo. I would suggest you take her and a copy of her pedigree to the next available breed show in your area and have her evaluated by the breeders attending that show. An breeder experienced in the breed faults and shortcomings is going to be the best way to have her properly evaluated and it is unlikely that you will find that person on a site such as this. Sadly, while pedigree can certainly help ensure the offspring have proper conformation, it is no guarantee of breeding/show quality and truthfully, only about one or two dogs in even the best bred litter ultimately have show/breeding worthy conformation. The rest make super pets, however!
