Symmetrical spots and body shape?

Post by purplecandle »

Just wondering if any one else noticed this, or perhaps I am wrong.

Has anyone ever noticed that GSPs with symmetrical spots, like Sparks's Chomper look here at #2-> viewtopic.php?f=21&p=263602#p263602...

once the have been fed and have a little age on them.....tend to have the body shape of almost a perfect ball with a tail at the end. Golf balls with tails?

I have one like this..and I have seen other like this..

I'd say that's a pretty good description of them -- "golf balls with tails" :D

I noticed ! but my puff was your example haha

Chomper has always been pretty symmetrical, but no where near perfect.

Chomper is a good looking GSP, no doubt. :D
