very true…a poor back may seem beautiful to some, but it leaves the dog physically handicapped, which otherwise, would have been a capable working dog…..

Very True.Poor backs may seem beautiful to some, but this really physically disables this, potentially capable, working dog breed…ill wait for these articles..hope you manage uploading them soon…:)

“Upper line” meaning topline. The topline that most showline European dogs show has a flat wither that runs almost without differentiation into a curving back and croup. These three sections of the topline should be obviously different in angle. Hopefully judges take the new wording literally. I’ll be posting several articles on back structure over the next few months. Bad backs are a sore point for me. L

Yup,the new layout of the website is really more user friendly, and more attractive, for sure..:)
Am really waiting for the llustrated Standard.
Actually i went through the new FCI standard (23.12.2010). The only change,apart from acceptance of a long coat GSD, was the “upper line”. It states:The upper line runs from the base of the neck via the high, long withers and via the “straight back” towards the slightly sloping croup. Unlike the FCI standard (07. 08. 1996) which stated that:The upper line runs, without any visible break, from the set-on of the neck over the well defined withers and over the “back very slightly sloping” to the horizontal line, onto the gradually slanting rump. Whats the significance of this change? Is it that, in accordance to the new standard, the “straight back” is to eliminate the roach from the breed?

Thanks Hashim. WordPress is a bit of a learning curve from Dreamweaver, but this format will be much more flexible. Still learning though! L
