The answer to question 1 and 2 are the same for some reason they think the
more extreme the topline the better. I have given up as a judge telling people
not to do it that way and I now try to visualize how they would looked if done
correctly. I went so far as to tell the handlers at the National in 99 that the
male dog had sent me a petition asking me to ask the handlers not to do that as
it hurt their testicles when they were stretched that much. To no avail.
Question #3 naturally needs no answer we all know it should be perpendicular
to the ground.

First question: (I hope this doesn't start a riot). But, I can't keep this

insist
on setting up Shepherds with the back leg facing the judge stretched
soooooo
far back that the dog can hardly keep it's balance?
Second question: Why do they ALSO put the outside back let so far up
under the dog that the entire hock is placed flat on the ground?
Third question: Is not the hock suppose to be parallel to the ground?
