So when leg is in an extended (out to the rear) and the hock is still
bent, that isn’t a locked hock? I was always under the impression that the
hock should be fully open at that position and the leg extended and close
to the ground. Then it gathers itself in and fully extend back in the
single track fully under the body.
Now I’m heading to videos and learning again.

OK, here is an image.
If when the dog pushes off with his rear foot, if the hock is flat to the
ground, it is a locked hock.
The problem comes when you see a class of six, and they are all locked.
When judging that class, it is a decision to ignore it, or accept it as a
fault and consider it just that.
It easy to see at a walk.
I have a solution to the problem, and we could solve it in one generation.
Change the standard to require a locked hock. Problem solved.

glad Carolyn said this. The picture does show a hock opening, and maybe the
next movement would be a full open hock. But it is not locked. A locked
hock stops movement when the rear foot is flat on the ground, and goes no
further. I am amazed when someone puts a moving picture in the Review,
and the dog is not in any way moving as they should. Or a head shot that is
not as described in the standard. I responded in private, but since
Carolyn opened it up, I will join in. It is often better to remain silent
and be considered ignorant, than to open your mouth and dispel all doubt.
