If you think that he is correct when he says that the tibia is the
stifle, then you need a better book.

No one has argued about how or why the croup affects movement; we
all seem to agree on that, even Syd when she mentioned the croup on
different horses. However, Nancy's explanation was not only incorrect as
it referred to location of the croup, but also in that it seemed to
stray off into talk about angles and bone structure...not only not
pertinent to the original question, but incorrect according to what I
know to be correct. I did not and still do not believe that her
explanation clarified anything. This latest information is also
incorrect...I defy anyone to prove that the tibia is the stifle, for
example.
Just because someone has written a book or drawn a diagram doesn't
mean that it is correct, or that the reader understands. We are all
supposed
to know what bones make the angles both in the forehand and the
hindquarter...none of this explains why you wrote that the croup begins
at the 7th vertebra of the loin (incorrect terminology...those vertebrae
are the lumbar vertebrae.
I occasionally speak to different groups on comparative
anatomy...that is, how you can compare your dog's structure to your
own...thereby better understand
how your dog is made and how he moves. I think perhaps anyone who
thinks that the tibia is the stifle needs to sit down, bend their knees,
and try to figure out how their tibia (long bones) bends in the middle.
Your book may have been written by someone who knew how to work
dogs...but I suggest you consult with a veterinarian to learn how the
bones fit together.
