I know...this is confusing me. I even looked at old Lance, Manix and other
older Fran-Jo dogs to see...still not getting it. Cynthia

Hocks that point toward the body???? I don't even understand
this...hocks pointing toward the body would be backwards...and if they are
turning toward one another, that is cowhocked.............so I guess I don't
understand what you are trying to say. Are you trying to say that your bitch
is cowhocked?

Hi: I got some private replies asking me what I meant by angulation in the
hocks. If you look at the picture I sent today of my Amber, you will see that
her hocks while she is standing turn in towards her body. They don't stand
straight up and down. Her daughter has the same angulation in the
hock.....turning slightly towards her body, rather than straight up and down.
I noticed this about her when she was first walking around at 4 weeks. Her
daughter is NOT steep in croup. Infact, she has a beautiful croup. This puppy
when she is gaiting in the house, gets her hindquarter well under her and
follows through in the rear. It's a very strong driving rear. The best way to
explain what I'm talking about would be to look at the kind of angulation that
you would have seen the Fran-Jo dogs have back in the 70's and 80's. At that
time, people were saying they were so angulated that they were walking on their
hocks. My girls are not that extreme that their walking on
their hocks, but they have that same angle to the hock that turns in towards
the body. I hope this makes it a little more clear what I'm trying to say.
Best wishes, Barbara
