Cathy Gish said:"Sometimes when a judge say the dog is well balanced. What they are really saying is his front is just as bad as his rear but together they balance out and he moves well.
Does that make sense?" Cathy, You know that Makes perfect sense. A dog which is straight in shoulder and lacking angulation in the rear though not attractive standing can look lovely on the move and hold itself together. However a straght shoulder and a lovely angulated rear may look pretty standing there but the dog falls apart on the move. It is all checks and balances. Balance is simply that. Front and rear must be balanced. Unfortunately it is usually easier to breed upright shoulders! ;-) Jean _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com ========================================================= "Magic Commands": to stop receiving mail for awhile, click here and send the email: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=SET%20CKCS-L%20NOMAIL to start it up gain click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=SET%20CKCS-L%20MAIL E-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] for assistance.
