 Structure and Layback Question
I hear about good structure from the breeders in all the posts. Level toplines, good front and rears, layback, reach & drive, shoulder angles, tail set, ear size and placement, flat skull and muzzle. The standard mentions these but there is no illustration of underlying skeletal structure that I have found that contributes to these qualities. While I feel I am developing an "eye" for some things I have a hard time with shoulder and layback - how do you recognize it - what are the tell tale signs of good and not so good. Is there any illustrated book that explains this in detail? Thank you! |
