Default OPPINIONS PLEASE (pics)

I would like oppinions on Patches, she is 9 months old and 2 face daughter. What does any one think of her structure, looks etc. I was thinking of maybe putting her in a dog show to see what she would do if any thing. My wife and daughter would probobally take her if she went to a show as im not really able to get around much. Any thoughts or oppinions, good or bad are welcome, poppabill. http://poppabill.com
The pics are not the best but its digital.

She looks thick and straight. For showing, her lack of eye pigment will be a concern. She will also need to drop 5-10 lbs. Most of the shows I have been to, the judge will not pick a dog they feel is overweight. Mostly that means they want ribs showing. I disagree and keep my dogs with a definite tuck between the ribs and hind end. Practice going in circles and have other people come up and pet her and rub their hands down her body. Do this off of her turf so she is less defensive.

okay 30 second beak down
Dog has straight rear, good hocks, pasterns and feet (excellent feet actually, 1st thing I look at on a dog.)
Top line is good, will be better if she ain't so fat, extra pounds causes a draw down right in the middle of the bridge. Tail looks good, thick powerful will lead to good balance.
Dog is over weight and soft, bulldogs are supposed to show great power even at rest, I never see a overweight dog get put up.
eye pigment, ( I have had it be the deciding factor for BIS, I lost)
She is only 9 months start putting some sea kelp powder in her food, may help with the pigment.
Maybe a little straight in the angulation, but she is still growing so that is hard to call.
Overall, I would have no problem putting time into that dog to show.
I think there are a few issues but no dog is perfect and you may be able to correct them. (The weight you can definitely fix)
