"Many dog breeders and judges of conformation dogs believe that a standing dog’s front legs, when viewed from the front should be straight from the elbow to the toes. Actually, having the toes point a little to the sides is a much more stable way to stand. When dogs step forward, the front legs rotate on their axes such that the feet point straight forward, allowing the toes to grip the ground most efficiently for moving. A dog whose feet point straight ahead when standing will toe in at the trot."

She notes many dogs bred to have a "true front" when standing are actually pigeon-toed in motion."

Als ik dit zo lees is een lichte franse stand (bij het staan) eigenlijk wenselijk. Snap er niks meer van
