Shasta – Topline is nearly perfectly level - very slightly uphill, which is good. Her top and underline are really pretty close to the same length.
Shoulder vs. Back vs. Buttock
Ideal – The shoulder, back, and buttock should all be equal in length when lines are drawn from the top of the wither to the ground and the point of the hip to the ground in the box from before.
Shasta – Her back is longer than her shoulder or buttock. This is unfortunate as everything so far was nearly perfect.
Buttock vs. Hip vs. Stifle
Ideal – The lengths from the buttock to the stifle, the stifle to the point of the hip, and the point of hip to the buttock should all be similar.
