To Paulette, I tend to agree with the judge you spoke with. I just had a
discussion with a breeder judge a week ago or so. He started discussing
angles, length of this body part or the other..and he was correct and I can't
argue with what he is saying, nor would I as he is a knowledgeable breeder.
however, I started laughing and said "Well, that fine what you say, but I just
look at how the dog moves, for me if the dog is built right, it moves right.
For some assessing a dog is about all the measurements, angles and such, for me
the approach is more "artistic" and less mechanical. To me, both ways of
assessing the animal are correct, and usually it is just that people evaluate
differently. In most cases, if you have a "good eye" for a dog no matter what
your evaluation method is, the cream usually rises to the top and the good ones
will hopefully win. C.Grainger

List Viability Test - GSD Structure &
MovementOk as a judge,
breeder and owner of Tennessee Walking Horses and American
Saddlebreds... says who? (That they are incorrect?). The
walking horse move in a laterally based gait. They do not
trot. Essentially they have Two gaits.. a flat walk and a
canter. The running walk that the TWH was bred to do is an
extension of the walk.
In saddlebreds. They are a trotting breed. While they
are animated and collected, they are not supposed to trot
like those of a Hackney Horse.
The walking horse is built for comfort and a gait more
"forward going". The saddlebred is built for
animation, brilliance and presence. You know this as you
breed morgans which today are no more than refined versions
of the ASB.

Disagree... angles and conformation
are very important in correct movement.
Example: Saddlebred or Tennessee Walker can move with great
style and
movement but angles and conformation incorrect. Long down
pastern,
hocks touching ground is not correct but most of the time
places with
the judge for they are showing style and movement. Then add
a straight
shoulder with neck placement incorrect.

Now for the test... A couple years ago, I was
sitting ringside with a very well known judge. We
were discussing
conformation, specifically angulation and movement.
The
judge told me that he rarely studies the
angles/conformation of the dogs
he's judging; he only considers the dog's
movement. In other
words, if the dog moves correctly, he must be built
correctly.
Agree or disagree? Please discuss.
Thanks, Paulette
