I find this "giraffe topline" to be most damaging when it is shown in a
National magazine where the general public gets a distorted vision of our
breed. The words "crippled and unable to function" easily comes to their mind
when they view a dog with a topline that looks like a ski-slope and the
hocks are completely laying on the ground. It pains me to see someone pay
significant amount of monies to show this "caricature" and the feeling is
doubled when the culprit is a "handler" who should know better.

First question: (I hope this doesn't start a riot). But, I can't keep this
to myself
any longer, and I really would appreciate it if someone, anyone, would
PLEASE explain why, oh why, some handlers and non-pros also persist and
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?
