Sometimes, I interrupt rants to ask people point blank: If you hate dog shows so much, why do you do it? They backpedal and say they don’t really hate it, then the conversation pivots toward the good things that have kept them there.
Dressing in good taste and behaving appropriately are at the core of good sportsmanship. Proper courtesy should be extended to your fellow competitors, the stewards, the judge and all with whom you come in contact at every show.
The hindquarters, or hindlimb assembly begins with the pelvis and the thigh bone (femur), which forms approximately 110 degree angle at its point of articulation with the ball and socket of the hip joint. At its distal end it articulates with the bones of the true leg, (tibia and fibula) at the knee (stifle joint). Distally, these two bones join to form the hock. The hind paw, or ankle, consists of seven tarsal bones (hock), five metatarsals (pastern), and the phalanges (the toes). Together, the many bones of the hindlimb complement the front assembly to create the dog’s running gear. Properly constructed and perfectly balanced, they efficiently produce and recycle energy with every step. A true marvel of engineering.
