All should be within what is described in the standard.....the illustrated standard explains it much better than the text.
Years ago....they were much shorter leg than what is being produced now. I think compact would be more correct.
If you go to the Show Section/ don't know the title of the thread but, Tegamom1 started it....you'll see a pic of my Tahlulah and Charmer.....this is my preferance in what I'm looking for. By the way, other than structure, I'm a head hunter.....love those beautiful heads with alot of expression, along with attitude. |
Thanks! I guess when I think of "cobby" I don't just think "compact". I have Persian cats and their standard describes them as "cobby"... I mean, I know cats and dogs are different of course, but I would think a pekingese would be the "cobby" I'm thinking of in the dog world...big and broad
