A note, when you feel the shoulder blade you go by the ridge, you can not miss it, you follow this ridge till you reach top-middle point of shoulder blade near the withers like in below drawing.

Ibrahim (you may be about to do this anyway):
I think it might help Rupya further if you could
show them some of the photos where you overprinted
your demonstration lines, on the pics of the actual dogs
is sometimes clearer for people to interpret. Thanks for
the anatomical paras you've put up so far, it's neat to
have a collected resume on this subject !

But sir the ridge can it be felt by hands?or it depends upon the condition of the dog?

by Ibrahim on 23 February 2016 - 07:02

Correct you are Hundmutter, I will do that. I wanted to make sure he sees what bones, lengths, angles and joints he should look for


by Ibrahim on 23 February 2016 - 07:02

Yes ridge can be felt by hand, that is easy on puppies, gets a bit difficult on adults and tricky on well muscled dogs, but it is achievable and judges do it on well conditioned adults in shows

Okk as practice gives you the idea of that feeling.

by Ibrahim on 23 February 2016 - 07:02

The more you feel bones of various dogs the more you understand the way bones are layed inside, trace bones till you reach and feel the joint . And watch dogs trotting and you will start visualizing the bones and joints, many fanciers realize angles and lengths of bones of a dog by watching it trot, gets more visible when dog is worked hard and gets tired

by Ibrahim on 23 February 2016 - 07:02

Many fanciers would spot a good layed scapula only by looking at a dog, they would not be able to explain to you why or how they know. Here I am trying to show you the theory first so you know what shoulder is, how it looks like, how it works and so on.
When time comes for practical examples, I am sure you will see quite few spot a steep humerus on a dog without doubt , but they did work and practice on dogs with their hands, and or watched dogs trot live

Anyway, this is a post about front angulation, do not skip without understanding and clearing your doubts please, feel no shame, I on this forum, asked the most stupid questions till I learned, older members were generous and patient, I now know the bones lengths, joint locations on all my dogs
