Balanced anatomy by Mr. Ajay Singh

A well thought out description of balanced structure by Mr. Ajay Singh. Take a read, maybe it helps you: “The key word is balanced structure that doesn’t need to be propped up by the lines, pushing a pulling by the hands, or widening the base by moving the legs apart. A good structure is a functioning structure that allows the dogs to move effortlessly in all gaits (not just trotting gait), allows the dogs to spring into movement instantly, allows the dogs to turn on a dime and stop, and allows them to leap effortlessly. These females are showing it. The feet are under the body and not sticking out a foot beyond where the tail stops, there is no roach or hump in the backs, the height to length proportions are correct.

In other words, don't get carried away by health testing and lose track of your ultimate goal! This was the intent behind Hips ZW or the height ZW. It is OK to breed to an excellent dog with Grade 1 ED with all other littermates with good joint health. It is OK to
