All but one where moving from the elbow! Why would people put these = pictures on their site??? I know it has been talked about before, and I have even = had some argue with me which is correct! I have been told "as long as the = foot comes to the end of the nose" <G> I think there needs to be a lesson in this. I agree. Trouble is, you CAN have a bad pic of a dog who can move correctly or a dog who doesn't open up from the shoulder and if all you have is the picture and the picture is bad, you don't know which it is; a really awful shot of a good dog, perhaps strung up when the photo was taken, or a dog who doesn't open up. I know a lot of people don't know "correct" or they wouldn't spend all the money they do using pics that are bad (a dog moving from the elbow) or proudly posting moving shots to the internet. Ed used to do a presentation w/ a dog with moving parts cut out of plywood...maybe he still has it...
