It's What's Up Front That Counts By Patricia V. Trotter
reprinted with the express written permission of the author, this article first appeared in the December
2012 AKC Gazette
If we wish to achieve our goal of breeding quality dogs in fewer numbers, we must set our sights on
producing and rewarding dogs with correct front-end assemblies.
In my February column, I discussed front-end assembly and the problems associated with incorrect, upright
shoulders. Because so many world-class dog people are concerned about the disappearance of correct
forequarter structure from the gene pools of our breeds, the subject merits further discussion.
The unfortunate fact is that straight shoulders, as incorrect as they may be, appear to facilitate winning in two
ways, which makes them very seductive. First, they provide picture-perfect posture, making the dog seem to
always be "on" because it cannot "let down" and lower its suspension as easily as a well-angled animal can.
Therefore, the dog requires less effort to project the kind of stand-up show dog persona that may impress
judges and ringside observers more than the correctly angled dog does.
For example, consider the three setter breeds, which were bred to crouch near the birds while the hunter
quietly approached with nets to throw over the dogs and the birds. These flexible sporting dogs further
utilized their correct angles to lower themselves and crawl out from under the nets in that pre-gun era, leaving
the captured birds for the huntsman. Now flash forward to a lineup of setters standing tall and proud in the
modern show ring. Chances are that only a precious few have correct shoulder angulation, while there are
others that stand out because they are jacked up on incorrect, upright shoulders that contribute to the façade
of the show dog.
The second way in which straight shoulders facilitate winning is by making it easier for the dog to move
straight and with what many perceive as more trueness on the coming-and-going movement. Because the
range of motion of the straighter-angled dog is much less than that of the correctly angled one, the reduced
distance of forward extension and follow-through shortens the stride, diminishing the room for error. The
longer stride provided by the correct shoulder has much more extension and follow-through. Consequently,
this greater range of motion allows more room for deviation from absolutely straight movement.
Side Gait
If the tempting elements described above are indeed seducing breeders and judges into subconsciously
rewarding animals with incorrect fronts, how do we turn this trend around? By concentrating on breeding
correctly structured forequarters and valuing them more highly. Our expectations for most breeds should be
to produce dogs with correctly sloping shoulders that are accompanied by equal length and angle of upper
arm. The juncture of these two bones should be close to a right angle. Such a correct forequarter assembly,
when complemented by correct hindquarter assembly, would assure efficient, easy and unlabored side gait,
displaying the picture of type in motion. Being able to see side gait is much more vital to our assessment of
breeding stock than dogs standing on the line or dogs moving straight down and back. Experts studying the
side gait of the dog are able to judge how the dog would endure in the field at work. Those dogs able to cover
the most ground with the least amount of effort will normally outwork others on a daily basis, as well as on a
long-term basis continuing into old age, simply because their correctness accommodates exercise.
Because the show ring is not a demanding physical test for an athletic dog, it is difficult to evaluate
athleticism in the show ring. Small rings actually support the straighter-shouldered dogs by asking little of
them and even hindering their more angulated competition. This is because the animals that are correct
never have an opportunity to exhibit their liberty of motion and their efficient, ground-covering side gait before
they run out of ring space. In such rings the dice are loaded to favor the straighter-angled dogs that
immediately go down and back with restrained and true footfall, even though they may not have the desired
side gait. Dogs with well-angled fronts and rears need space in which to warm up. It takes them a few steps
T H E P O O D L E S C E N E!

to get into the rhythm of body control that presents them doing a down-and-back at their best, something they
are routinely denied by the limits of time and the confines of space in the show ring environment.
An Unfortunate Phenomenon
An unfortunate yet interesting phenomenon is occurring in many of our breeds today on a regular basis. Lovely
dogs are showing up that have angles of one kind in the forequarters (usually straight) accompanied by angles
of another kind in the hindquarters (usually well angulated and occasionally extremely angulated). This, of
course, contributes to an exaggerated, sloping topline and takes balance out of the equation.
Unhappily, if the incorrect straight front assembly is also forward set, and it usually is, it is able to
accommodate the drive provided by the correct rear end, resulting in a picture of side gait that can fool the
evaluators. In other words, the front does just enough work to stay out of the way without supplying anything
positive to facilitate function. How this type of imbalance contributes to the fatigue factor of an animal at work is
another question. Two laps around the show ring simply do not tax any animal enough for us to observe the
results of such poorly assembled parts. It is only by observing dogs at work performing their original job
description that you can appreciate the disservice breeders render their breed when they keep only show ring
performance in their mind's eye.
Breeders who strive to produce a correctly constructed animal with the athletic ability to perform its function will
need to study a composite of the bones and their angles to obtain an uncomplicated skeletal picture. Utilizing
this study process, along with a thorough assessment of gait and physical usefulness, will lead to better dogs
with correct front-end assemblies, dogs that are able to tolerate exercise and work.
The ideal dog, when standing, will have a well-sloped shoulder with good return of upper arm that brings the
elbow under the top of the shoulder blades and well under the rib cage. (Even though a straighter-angled dog
may have its elbow under the top of its straight shoulder, the elbow will not come well under the rib cage but
will instead be too far forward.) When moving, the ideal dog will exhibit cleanness in coming and going, and
efficiency when viewed in profile.
Prioritizing
If we must sometimes make compromises when we breed, we must value correct and efficient side gait (which
is not to be confused with the fastest gait) more if we are to turn the trend around. If we demand correct
structure and efficient movement, whatever gaiting trade-offs we must make will not come at the expense of
side gait. We will accept that these dogs require more work to learn body control and must spend more time
"warming up" before they go into the ring. And we will never forgive straighter-angled dogs for being anything
other than true on the down-and-back. Because of their reduced range of motion, when such animals move
poorly coming and going they have more serious conformational defects than a simple lack of angulation.
I have not addressed the issue of body proportions in this article, although I am aware of the quandary that
judges of a square breed are presented with when choosing between a rectangular dog with the most efficient
side gait and a correct, square dog that covers less ground. These are difficult choices that should not be
made without factoring in desired type. Type is always the major consideration.
The suggestions in this article for improving front ends apply to what we might consider the normal, athletic
canine performer, a description that applies to most breeds. There are, however, many exceptions to this rule
because some dogs are bred to do specific jobs that require a somewhat different conformational
configuration. I plan to deal with some of these breed-specific differences in future articles.
Meanwhile, our collective sights must be set on rewarding dogs with correct front-end assemblies if we wish to
achieve our goal of breeding better dogs in fewer numbers. From the great beyond, such 20th-century experts
as the famous Alva Rosenberg would approve and encourage us to proceed.

Putting Up a Good Front By Patricia V. Trotter
reprinted with the express written permission of the author, this article first appeared in the February 2013
While breeders must concentrate on selecting stock with good fronts, so too must judges reward correctlymade dogs.
Analyzing the role that superior judges play in contributing influential "know-how" to breeders' decisionmaking has been the focus of my most recent columns, as well as most of my life! Among the experts whom
you should treasure and whose opinions you should utilize are those who truly understand front-end
assembly and who reward it in the ring whenever possible.
There are two reasons I place so much emphasis on judges whose opinions value correct front-end
assembly. First, correct fronts are the hardest structural trait to keep in any family of dogs. Second, once
correct fronts are lost from the gene pool, they are very difficult, if not impossible, to recover. To further
complicate matters, there seems to be widespread misunderstanding about exactly what constitutes a good
front.
The ideal front assembly is one that stands true when viewed from the front and that features a well-laidback, correct shoulder, as well as good return of upper arm that brings the elbow well under the top of the
shoulder blades when viewed from the side. In addition, correct lay-on of the front will ensure proper melding
of the blades at the top of the shoulders. Most of all, these elements combine to allow a gait that has great
liberty of motion, giving the dog tireless, effortless and efficient locomotion. The front foot moves well out
under the head and stays close to the ground, which conserves energy at the same time it helps the dog to
"cover a lot of ground."
Complications
Although this sounds relatively simple, it becomes more complicated when you factor in how the front looks
when the dog is coming toward you. The fact is that a correctly made animal with functional and efficient side
gait has much more opportunity for error when viewed coming toward you than a straighter-angled dog has.
This is because the longer the length of the stride from front-most extension to follow-through under the rib
cage, the greater the likelihood for deviation from absolutely straight movement. And consequently, the
poorer-constructed front may often be rewarded because it is more likely to satisfy the judge's requirement for
so-called "sound" front movement due to its more restricted range of motion.
Breeders and judges desire dogs that move straight coming and going. The constant challenge in achieving
this is to find the perfect column of support on correctly angled dogs and avoid inadvertently selecting
breeding stock with compromised angles just because the animal moves straight when viewed from the front.
Although it may be easier to find straight-moving fronts (viewed coming at you) on straighter-shouldered
dogs, isn't it counterproductive if a correctly angled front assembly has been sacrificed to achieve it?
In my December column it was noted that upright fronts, though undesirable, certainly do contribute to the
impression of ramrod-straight, picture-perfect posture that is associated with the ultimate show dog. If straight
fronts also make it more likely that a dog will move toward you with what appears to be "trueness," maybe we
should ask ourselves this question: Are straight shoulders becoming such a facilitator of wins that we are
subconsciously selecting for them? Are straight shoulders so seductive that all of us, breeders and judges
alike, are falling into the trap of rewarding incorrect ones because they make winning easier?
World-class judges are unanimous in the belief that fronts are, across the board, the most faulty area of our
breeds. Some even bemoan the fact that there are breeds that seem to have lost the gene pool for the
desired front! This is a serious concern that merits our studious attention.

An interesting chain of events started in my own breed, the Norwegian Elkhound, about a half century ago,
when the parent club started holding national specialties every three years. (Today the national is held on a
biannual basis.) The Norwegian masters who came to judge our breed in the 1960s and '70s included the
most knowledgeable people in the history of the breed, and they unanimously voiced their concerns about
the stuffy, short-legged animals in America. It was not until 1968 that the standard was revised to elevate the
size of the bitch from "about 18 inches" to 19½ inches.
Breeders started breeding for leggier puppies and seeking more stately, hunting-type Norwegian Elkhounds.
Unfortunately, many dogs were picked simply because they were taller. Little attention was paid to the fact
that their straight front ends were contributing to that look. In essence, some breeders neglected to breed for
more leg (length of bone) from the elbow down and were just selecting for the tallest puppies. Consequently,
they were often inadvertently selecting open-angled animals.
Fortunately, as the decades passed and the dogs conformed more to the desired type with extra leg length,
breeders began seeking correct front-end assembly and became less forgiving of straight-shouldered
animals. Nonetheless, Elkhound breeders today acknowledge that continuing effort is required to breed
animals that satisfy the standard.
Getting Better With Age
In our roles as guardians of our breeds, we must explore what we can do as fanciers to protect well-made
fronts. The dogs with more angles require more work to be physically fit than their straighter-fronted brethren
do because they are built for work and their structure accommodates exercise more easily. If they are not
worked enough to learn body control, they are at a disadvantage. Furthermore, they should be "warmed up"
before going into the
O ring. This will help them get into their rhythm as well as take the edge off any excessive
exuberance. Interestingly enough, dogs with correctly made fronts get better and truer with more work and
age, while those with straighter fronts tolerate long-term work poorly, loading up in the shoulders and getting
stuffier and bulkier with time.
Exactly how successfully good shoulders tolerate hard work in old age was exhibited by a senior hunting
bitch at a Plott Hound seminar we attended last year around the time the breed entered AKC competition.
The students represented some of dogdom's most knowledgeable people, many of whom remarked that the
dogs there, whatever other traits they displayed, all possessed excellent front-end construction. And, of
course, they all were competent hunting animals. One judge's observation has haunted me since: "I wonder
how long it will be before the American show ring takes its toll on these fronts."
Since the ultimate goal of the dedicated breeder and judge is to select correct functional working type, built to
endure and to stay healthy well into old age, it makes sense from every point of view to make whatever
sacrifices are necessary to retain correctly made animals in our breeding programs. The instant gratification
associated with "flyers" who win big at dog shows is simply not worth the long-term sacrifice of valued traits
in the gene pools of our beloved breeds. Competent breeders and judges working together to insist on
correct fronts will be the trustees of the breeds as we begin a new century.

breeds, as well as Junior Showmanship. She is the author of Born to Win.

Pictured at the KW Kennel Club agility trial, “Denim” obtained his last
“Q” with a first placement for his Standard Intermediate Agility title. He
also obtained his first “Q” towards his Excellent Jumpers. Although
“Denim” is versatile, I must admit Agility is his favorite sport! We will be

Do you own, breed, or handle miniature or standard poodles? • Researchers at the University of Missouri would like to invite you to participate in a research study examining social behavior in miniature and standard poodles. • Participation in this study involves the completion of an online survey. Owners, breeders, or handlers of miniature and/or standard poodles are eligible for the survey. This survey asks about the general social behaviors of a dog, such as attention, gesturing, and eye contact. Other information collected by the survey includes general health and training information. • This study will provide insight into dog social behavior and how it relates to human behavior, especially in terms of social disorders such as autism. Shelley Green-­‐Wooldridge, AKC handler, has advised the study investigators that social behaviors similar to autism have been observed in a subset of miniature and standard poodles. With thirty years of experience in working with poodles, Green-­‐Wooldridge believes that this breed seems to be most appropriate to study for social behavior. • Please join us in helping to conduct this study. If you would like to participate, please follow the link below for the survey. If you currently have more than one poodle, please complete one survey for each poodle. Link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/MiniaturePoodleSocialSurvey If you are interested in being contacted for future research studies, please email Rachel Zamzow at [email protected] with your contact information.
