Thanks Carolyn, a great post to build on
So this is where I differ from that opinion, I do feel that if the shoulder is
too far forward, exhibiting little or no forechest(forchest, fourchest, 4chest
- ;-) ) it will affect the balance, since the center of gravity is now moved
backwards in relation to the leg and shoulder changing the cantilever point and
perhaps resulting in a lifting of the forehand particularly if coupled with a
straight shoulder.
regards, and would love to get you feedback

Hi Mike;
I meant to respond to your post........but got lost in the flurry of other
responses over the weekend
and ended up deleting all the posts.......therefore depending on a pretty
pitiful memory!!
I can tell you that I like things "simplified"......so I refer to it as
"forechest"......<G>....and since it has
absolutely nothing to do with the movement of the dog there is no 'specified'
measurement
of it that I know of.....other than "showing ahead of the shoulder in profile"
and it should be deep
and capacious.......
As Goldbecker explained it ......the "purpose" of the forechest is for the
herding dog gaiting through
weeds and small low brush to catch the brunt of the constant chafing.......and
simply for the beautiful
balanced outline and appearance of our Breed, as I understand it.
Beautiful forechest is a nice addition in beautiful type in it's "appearance"
on our GSD....but especially
on a nice 'stallion' male. Too much and a dog can appear and be "overloaded'
and clumsy. In my
opinion it has absolutely nothing to do with the angle of the shoulder nor the
front extension of a
correct shoulder.
Thanks for trying to actually open up a discussion about THE DOGS!!! Hang in
there.........

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Simply Amazing
As I often do, I recently posted a subject on the list to instigate a
discussion on certain aspects of structure of our beloved breed. Expecting a
lively educational and informative discussion(some of which I got) I was not
disappointed., unfortunately the object of that discussion turned into a who's
resource for a given term was correct or not. I tried to steer the discussion
back to the topic but what was quite surprised by the pasion displayed by those
list members focused on the correct spelling debate.
My disappointment is that many of those who engaged in that debate, I had held
in high regard, I say to you - please do some self examination(as will I) on
your motives and attitude as well as your communication style. It is very easy
to get out of hand on a limitted communication medium such as this and does
little to suggest how your mentoring is beneficial to others.
If the list has truly devolved to that level, it offers both me as an
experienced breeder nor the new comer little if any hope of learning anything
of value here.
I suggest that If you have a suggestion or a correction for someones post,
please, as a matter of etiquette I suggest you address it privately and allow
them to make(or not) a correction.
My days here are numbered,
Regards,
M
