I actually thought that locked hocks was not that common. I'm sure I have seen
it and neverknew what it actually was. I asked my friends Betty and Karl today
and both of them said itwas not all that common, guess because they never had
those problems. Is this not somethingwe can breed out?? Is it genetic?? Tanya

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. Evanhttp://gsdnational.blogspot.com/

I'm glad that Carolyn mentioned it too, as the dog pictured was not locked
in the hocks.

I am 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. Evan
