Thank you Peggy and you are absolutely correct! Moreover, I appreciate the
specific reference to this term (i. e. author, chapter, page, etc.) and how its
usage amongst recognized authorities on the subject...
It is unclear why would anyone that correctly understands "Dog and Breed"
specific terminology would chose to reference an inapplicable source(s) to make
a point that has such little relevance to the topic? To say the very least, its
confusing to those, novice or otherwise, who use these sites as reliable
sources of breed education. And frankly, who cares how the term is used in
humans and bugs as I thought we were talking dogs, specifically the GSD!
So as a point of reference for Jodi, Doc Zoe, Mike, etc., I might suggest a bit
more reading on breed specific history before making nonsensical assertions
that run contrary to the breed's founder, breed authorities, and the written
breed standard!
As a place to start, Rittmeister (Calvary Captain) Max von Stephanitz uses the
term "Prosternum" beginning in his first book (i.e. The German Shepherd Dog in
Word and Picture, circa 1923) and quite frankly, that's good enough for me! ,)
lol...
Regards,
Randy

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.
