I've seen dogs that appear to be on stilts, sometimes not have good body width.....too leggy, and not a pretty picture, at least to me.......I've seen a few on them on the taller side, however, not all judges will put a dog up that is that tall. But, there are other down falls to those that are too leggy....knee problems. There again, health issues. I love a dog with a bit more leg, if they are a good balanced dog, with good movement they do make a gorgeous picture when they are gaiting around the ring with their coat flowing.
