OK here we go again. Rather than using a book meant for humans, I suggest
some of you obtain a copy of Harry Spira's book...CANINE TERMINOLOGY --
(Dr. Harold R. Spira)....published in this country by Howell Book House and
now in its umpeenth printing...
Dr. Spira was, until his death in 1991, a world-reknown expert in canine
matters...not just health, but also judging.
On page 110, he defines the PROSTERNUM...
"that portion of the breast bone that projects beyond the point of the
shoulder when seen in profile, e.g., Dachshund..." and he refers to figures
11, 193, and 288 (which are in his book, also).
So stop the arguing...Randy was correct. At least among knowledgeable
dog people...........not human medical techs, etc.
