Actually, if you look at the diagram, the body does stop there. Nothing behind that but tail.
When a breed standard calls for or suggests a square body, they're talking about body length measured in the way I suggest. The standards are AKC standards and the body length is measured according to the AKC definition.
Glad we got a chance to talk about this.
