ladies, pardon me, but when you start talking about dorsal vertebrae and thoracic vertebrae, you are guaranteed to lose more than 90% of your audience. No wonder people don't understand canine structure.....speak in layman's terms...bad enough I said femur... People aren't stupid, I know, but if you explain most things at an 8th or 9th grade level, you have the best chance of getting people to understand you. When you are sitting at ringside trying to explain good movement to someone, and you start bathering on about vertebrae, etc., they're going to tune you out. sorry, but it's true.
