I wanted to ask about angulation in the hocks and find out some 
information about it.  I looked on the Parent club site to read about 
the standard and didn't find out anything there relating too much to the 
hocks.  I have three bitches.  (Mother and her two daughters).  The 
mother is very extreme in the hindquarter with angulation to her hocks.  
Her one daughter who is almost a carbon copy of her is also like this.  
Her sister has just a regular hock without the angulation.  Any 
discussion about this?  Any purpose for it?  From what I see with the 
one daughter who has the angulation, she has a very strong driving rear 
and gets her hindquarter very well under her.  The other doesn't drive 
as well.  Just my observation.  I'd like to hear more about this from 
other breeders.  Best wishes,  Barbara
