I am especially under-whelmed with young puppies whose undercarriage stops above their elbows. I can here an old breeder friend saying "not enough puppy" and you just know looking at them (or should I guess) that is they are that high on leg as a baby, they will be waayyyyy too high on leg as an adult. What ever happened to enough room <in other words deep enough> for heart, lungs and well sprung ribs???? I want "solid"... And, I realize that they don't run on their heads, but watching this year's national tapes, was it just me or did anyone else notice the startling number of bad ear sets????
