Having just cropped, renamed and put into order, pictures of every dog at our recent Sydney specialty, :wacko: I can only say that there were dogs stacked too far back, others under themselves and not pulled back, a variety of toplines and head positions. I think it's fair to say that this occurs at any large gathering of the breed. :- "

As Griff pointed out, some dogs stand into themselves with all their weight on their front whereas others post back. I have to say though that I've found when any dog is built right (conformation, muscles, the whole shebang), they tend to stand pretty well by themselves and don't need lots of adjusting. :thumbsup: Pity these dogs are so far and few between.

As for pulling hocks too far back, I tend to agree with Seraphina that handlers believe this gives the appearance of standing over ground, but as we all know, the covering of ground should come from the back and not just the hindquarters.

Interesting topic.

Wow!  You've done really well Griff - congratulations!  :thumbsup:
Where's the pics?????????

Here's Fergus on the move at the Hobart Royal.

Well done , Nice pup
But can I just ask you Aussies why most of you stand your whippets with their hocks slanting backwards ?  :wacko:   Surely they should be verical . Not only does it look uncomfortable for the dogs but it also makes there topline fall away too

Ive put a couple of pics on ,the red dog is how they should be IMO and the other looks uncomfortable ,I realise its taken from an angle which dosnt help ,

The puppy for me has her hocks sloping too far backwards , but then it is a baby pup  :wub:

I dont know who either of the dogs are ,There are some who slope more than this one too but I cant be bothered to troll through  pages and pages  :- " ; and  No the red ISNT mine 

Just an English observation that I have spoken about with other english K9ers .  :huggles:   :cheers:

Of course the hocks should be vertical and the dog should stand easily behind and weight bear over the whole pad. When you stand behind a Whippet and can see the pads of the hind feet because the dog is so stretched that it is standing on its toenails .... the handler is trying to hide or create something.

What irritates me is when you have a Whippet that has length and stands easily behind, showing turn of stifle and usually with a great second thigh... the judge comes and places the hind feet underneath the belly, creating an image of the dog being sickle hocked.

Having had Basset Hounds for 30+ years I think I have seen most of the tricks one can do with hindlegs.... great tools for creating a level topline in that breed.

Just my humble opinion

 

[JAX]

Thats quite correct at what you say Chakarata , :cheers:

Theres more than one whippet being shown where the owner pulls the hocks out to make it the topline better , but unfortunatly the poor dog isnt comfortable and continues to try to stand square , thus annoying said owners :- " This is where a good judge will spot whats going on , but not all do im afraid

Hound Club of Vic , not sure of the judge as it changed on the day.[SIZE=14pt]Parnew Foreign Image (Rio)[/SIZE] :cheers: Best Baby Puppy In Show :cheers: at his first show. A special Thanks to Sue D and Heather for showing him for us o

Hey John, heard the same comment from exhibitors in other Hound breeds! I did hear if you were in Open and at the top of the line, odds were you went through.

Guess I was smart staying home. Hope you have better luck today.

Cheers

We seemed to have had a bout of Canadian's & I think we had the Argentinian too - hhmmm... if your Argentinian was the same as what we had in NZ (I'm pretty sure it was!) he was a scary character - didn't do hounds, but he did very odd things with the gundogs - I won't complain, won a CC with a young pointer bitch, but some of our big guns & their gorgeous dogs were sent home packing without even a RCC

I have the luxury of having a black pigment & a dilute that are litter mates, you can bet your bottom dollar that the black pigment does well under the canadian's & the dilutes go straight to the back of the line :angry: It does make ya cross specially when our standard does not call for the black pigment & eyes & then you hear the judges saying that they can't go past the blackies :angry: JMO

I know Anne-Marie. My apologies but I have a tendency to associate who a dog lives with and who shows it rather than the 'official' name on the papers. If someone asks me who won, I say Anne-Marie's Kelly etc.

Just wanted to see if you were paying attention!

And thanks for the congrats. Kelly is tough to beat.
