I can see shoulder placement, length of upper arm, length and curve of stifle, angle of pasterns, angle of croup, etc. Most of the time I can even see an east/west front. I can see length and placement of neck, etc, etc. Now, being able to see all that - and knowing how those things effect the FUNCTION of the dog - I can tell a LOT from a picture.
