I am not one normally to start a thread and usually keep my head low because I find when you start speaking out to much you become a target and a focal point of bad mouthing but I had to say something about this. When looking at recently posted pictures on the database this morning I noticed the following dog and was dumb founded. Now lets make something totally clear in NO WAY am I putting down the kennel the dog came from, the dog its self or show dogs in general. Although I am partial to working blood lines (because even a show dog can be a “working” dog) I find that show dogs also bring certain things to the table that working blood lines need. With that said I find this dog unnatural even from a show dog aspect. I have studied the purpose behind breeding dog with a 45 degree scapula or a croup that’s not flat or to angled or even to long or to short. I also understand that the show dogs power comes from the rear, so not enough angluation effects the dogs “power stroke” and the follow through, where to much angulation causes weakness and causes the dog to do what’s called “buying time” where he or she has to throw their front feet out when trotting because their extreme angulation causes the back feet to interfere with the front feet, we see this allot with dogs bred for the

I think the pcture is distorted terribly, and taken at an awful angle, and the dog might be overweight.

There are two others, DON and DAX from the same kennel in the user comments.I have commented about the pictures used they are distorted to the extreme. One of the dogs has several pictures in his gallery which show a more natural pose. Why anyone would submit a picture of thier dog like this is beyond me, and i am a showline die hard. liz

The photo does look distorted and the dog appears to have a dished foreface. Seems like the photo was taken from an angle and downwards. Looks horrible.

Either way the dogs leg are not as long as his body is deep, the face is way too short and the mother is the same. Can't be "just" the picture.
