----- Original Message ----- From: carolyn mckenna To: showgsd Sent: Sunday, August 05, 2007 10:20 AM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] movement pics Enjoyed the movement pictures posted this morning. It is nice to have posts concerning the dogs. However, I was a bit surprised at the number of pictures showing INcorrect movement : dogs moving from the elbow rather than the shoulder, with the front "lift" that goes along with it. That elbow should be under the wither standing, not moving. Discussion? Carolyn ********************************************************************** WHAT!!!!!!!???? Actually talk DOGS!!?? Does no one respond to these issues on the dogs anymore.....? I agree Carolyn McKenna....... ( even though I have been off the list for a while and missed the photos?? ) the elbow should be extended and open for proper front reach as well as the shoulder. It is a "lever" that should OPEN UP......not lift up. Same with the rear follow through..........it should match the front extension......both front and rear with the foot low and close to the ground at full extension.........elbow opened up.....hock opened up. When they are opened correctly there is no lift at EITHER end. the "other" Carolyn marhaven@xxxxxxx www.marhaven.com ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
