Why would you stop at the hip bone? Body length doesn't stop there :confused: Very curious?? Thanks. |
http://www.sonic.net/~cdlcruz/GPCC/library/measure.htm There's a diagram on this site. You measure length from the sternum or breast bone to the "point of the hip" or the end of the hip bone. I think some people are confusing how to measure for clothes with how to measure for height to length ratio. |
It can often be a fault for particular breeds to be shorter or taller than the standard requires. For this reason, owners need to measure their dogs to see where the dogs "fit" according to the standard? How to measure the size of your dog. Height is measured from a point horizontal with the withers straight down to the ground Length is measured from point of a shoulder to point of rump http://www.triplecrownkennel.com/danatomy.html |

Body length Distance from the prosternum (front portion of the breastbone) to the posterior portion of the pelvic girdle |

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. |
