Considering that we are coming up with such a different placing, I wonder what sort of criteria are you using. These are mine;

· shoulder at 60degrees to the ground

· arch starting where the last rib connects to spine

· height approximately 9/10 of the body length for male, with bitch little bit longer

These are measurable qualities, others are little bit more difficult to describe, and therefore open to interpretation. I just wonder how many people agree or disagree with the 3 above points. :unsure:

1.....E... Nice lenght. I forgive the topline for overall balance.

2.....B...Better topline as 1st. But lacks shape in chest & shoulders.

3.....C...Very nice. On anyother day could be the winner.

4....A

5....C

6....F

Now, this is getting interesting.

Some of the dogs look remarkably better this time.

last would be 2 - not quite as "Italian" in stance as before, but still over-refined

5th would be number 1 in this case. Which is a pity, because she is a lovely shape, but her straight pasterns just disturbs the picture for me.

4th would be 4, which now looks rather too refined and with a clumsy head and a tendency towards weak pasterns (could be down to the pose).

3rd would be 5. Still a bit too much of everything, but looks more balanced and elegant in this shot.

2nd would be number 6 - this time his back looks flat, but his proportions are still very nice.

1st would be number 3 - provided she is not far too big (it might look as if she is). I don't think I placed her highly the first time around, but she looks more mature and rounded here.

I think this has been very interesting............

the dogs are as follows

A = 2

B = 5

C = 4

D = 1

E = 6

F = 3

B is a Champion and D + E are sired by him. Dam of D + E is F A + C are no relation to each other or the others.

Wow, this has been a great exercise, Millie! Sure there are more people than I who had more than one surprise now that you have revealed who's who. Very educational, I really appreciate the job you've done.

:thumbsup: Realy enjoyed doing that Millie, Anymore excersises for us.

Dont think i will ever make a judge! Not that i want to be one, much to complicated for me. :blink:

 

[Juley]

Well I feel quite chuffed. I got my 1st, 2nd, and 3rd the same both times. Those seminars must have stuck to the brain cell! :lol:

 

[Lolcoe]

Well i liked F and 3 (the one that looks like a greyhound! (w00t) ) Will i ever get greys out of my blood????? :- "

 

[Seraphina]

I hope Millie does not mind, but I needed to see them side by side.

From my own pictures Jill.

Look out for another one coming soon........... hopefully with movement siluetes as well. :thumbsup:

That was good fun. Thanks Millie. Looking at Seraphina's post, It was interesting to see how the same dogs looked so different in the 2 different pictures. Its a good thing I'm not a judge :lol:

 

[Karen]

Been away and missed this, good post Millie, what about fronts from the front. I thought it was great that there were so many different answers, Whippets can change shape from class to class let alone 'on the day' (w00t)

 

[Cartman]

They have all got a lovely dark eye. (w00t)

Dark nose's too :lol:

:cheers: Thank you very much Angus :thumbsup: , I understood this :lol: .... I am just wondering how some can see that from a profile silhouette :blink: ??? But maybe it's just me... :wacko:

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

​

For those who thought this dog was toeing-out (or east west, whatever you want to call it!!) .......... here's a photo of him. You can't see all of his feet but I think you can see enough!! Do you still think his front is not right??

​

If you can't see enough of his feet to see that he has a straight front I would suggest you need glasses!!!
