Reprint. Written in 1950,
this book was the first to thoroughly analyze,
illustrate and explain the under-the-skin workings of
the dog. It shows the breeder, fancier, and judge that
the principles of movement apply to all breeds. While
some of the theories have since been disproved, the book
still deserves to be in the serious dog person's library
because it is the foundation for all gait and locomotion
books which have since been written. The modern breed,
judge and fancier will learn: *To put functional
soundness above all else *Why the trot shows the faults
and virtues of a dog's running gear. *That every animal
that moves can teach us about functional conformation
*Why a dog must be dynamically balanced to function
efficiently. *That no dog can be any better than his
bone placement, conformation and muscle tone *How to
develop a thorough knowledge of dogs in order to
interpret a breed standard. |
