..ANGULATION AFFECTS ALL…

Horse people know all too well that the forehand is key to the conformation of a horse, and in dogs it is no different. The front – more specifically, the length and placement of the scapula (shoulder blade) – does not exist in isolation. That one pivotal conformation trait directly determines the placement of the neck, the carriage of the head, the depth of the chest, and, in the gait, the front leg extension and the soundness of the down and back.

No trait is harder to breed for, or easier to lose, than a good front. A good front, once lost, can take generations to recover, if at all. NEVER EVER SACRIFICE THE MOST DIFFICULT FEATURE TO REPAIR. Many established breeders, owners, exhibitors and even judges lack foundational knowledge of this area of anatomy, making it difficult for them to evaluate it properly.

Worth a read for those who have puppies..... will have to click on image to make larger for reading.

 I thought this was a fantastic illustration showing why you should wait to spay or neuter puppies so their hormones have a chance to do their work on the joints and bones.
