Lots of people post pics of their dogs on various forums and the like and 
I've noticed a few get critiques of "Would like to see firmer pasterns". 
But quite frankly, I think the pasterns look fine, and the dog is just well 
angulated.

So, where's the cut off for "down pasterns" and "well angulated" pasterns. I 
mean, I know the German dogs don't have as much angulation in the pastern as 
the American dogs, but I don't think they're always down on them. 

A dog can be walking/standing tall and proud on his feet, and still be judged 
as "down on the pasterns" and I don't get it
