The proper way to check the angulation between femoral and shin bones.
MOVEMENTS
When you’ll let the dogs move in the ring, you’ll understand the meaning of what that I said before about “perfectly balanced combi- nation of angulations”. If the angulations work as they have to work, you’ll see irresist- ible harmony of movement, typical for this breed. Your winners should look not like
“horses’ procession”, and not like “terriers in general”, but like Dachshunds, as the under- ground hunting dogs.
On these three photos you can see how the angulations work in movement.
Correct movement with an excellent reach of the front legs. A dachshund shouldn’t mince along like a terrier, but should move like a shepherd.
