Hi, Jo Ann,
Yes, I have "seen" that. But I'm not a judge and I always assumed it
was why the better judges didn't use dogs that they went over and felt a
structural flaw that I couldn't see. If, indeed, our breed standard
which specifies how a Cavalier should be built can't help us build a
Cavalier who can move at least adequately.........then we need to find a
way to fix that.
Because I can't STAND to see a gorgeous Cavalier who is lame. SIGH
I think it is the horsewoman in me.
