Does he look square? This means legs and back are close to the same. They do not want to see a basset hound type- a long back and short legs. Or real long legs and a short back.
Remember the perfect dog does not exist- and never has. We all just keep striving to breed that one and only perfect one. |
Thank you for explaining this to me.
Ransom does look square. I can compare him to Schatzie who is very long and not so much in proportion. I have also compared him to my friends Yorkie who is smaller than Schatzie and was easier to make a comparison. Atleast both Ransom and Schatzie think they are perfect, LOL.
You are so right, there is no perfection and never will be. But it is nice to keep striving.
