Dog kicking in behind - Page 1

recently came across a gsd bitch kicking in air from behind, having moderate angulations in front slightly up from behind,long but steep croup extremely short second thigh ,when gaiting falls on forehand followed by a kick in behind as if there is some sort of restriction, coudn't figure out why? is it because of short second thigh? Any help appreciated. thanks in advance anand v

Anand, I think you will find that the dog cannot extend the rear foot beyond a point on the ground generated by a straight line to the ground through the croup without this kind of "kick-up" as I call it. I believe there was some discussion of this several months ago. ecs
