6a_CM+Ritchi+xray.jpg (21378 bytes)

Front set well back on ribs, good prosternum, nice angle to the pastern, nicely fitted front with chest of good depth.

1b+front_KN.jpg (25793 bytes)

Nicely shaped bone and feet, nice curvature of radius/ulna, though the chest itself appears to be slightly slab-sided (could be a young dog?). Shows good shoulder angulation, elbows closely fitting, correct amount of turn out of feet and well let down in brisket. Nice outline from the side, showing some projection of the prosternum, the upper arm may be   marginally short.

Dodofront2.jpg (11051 bytes)

Front legs nicely moulded around chest. Lacks some bone substance and shape is more oval than round. Note feet which are more oval-shaped rather than round. From the side, a suggestion of a short upper arm and front without sufficient prosternum. (Though this could be due to the angle of the photo).

Minifront5.jpg (25704 bytes)

Slightly better front than above –  With stronger, better shaped bone and feet.May
also be short in upper arm, although chest shows some prosternum.

10a_Front+_MG.jpg (9621 bytes)

Shows nice bone and good round feet, nice curvature around the chest, unfortunately has too
much turn-out of the pasterns. Nice projection of the prosternum, and shows decent length of upper
arm in this photo

2b_CM+Inge+deformed+front.jpg (15072 bytes)

Too much crook and chest lacks depth of brisket - notice the space between radius/ulna and chest wall. Side view shows apparent knuckling over caused by a deformity of the left forearm. This is a classic case of overgrowth of the radius, causing both too much bend to the forearm and the knuckling over.. This condition could be caused be a growth plate injury. Nails could be shorter

3a_CM+Joe+normal+but+extreme+f.jpg (18584 bytes)
fs7

3b_CM+Joe+normal+but+extreme+f.jpg (16745 bytes)

Nicely fitted front, quite well let down, nice bone. Front feet have too much turn out and are flat.
From side looks weak and almost upright in pasterns.

4a_CM+Bright+normal+front.jpg (17060 bytes)
fs8

4b_CM+Bright+normal.jpg (20502 bytes)

Nicely fitted front. Could be better let down in front and has very little turn out, but both quite acceptable in younger exhibits. Nice bone with substance and correctly shaped feet but could be better padded. Nice gentle angle to the pasterns.

5a_CM+Jimmy+straight+front.jpg (19028 bytes)
fs9

5b_CM+Jimmy+straight+front.jpg (14844 bytes)

Nicely fitted front with good bone, nice short pasterns but a little upright. Could have deeper chest. Feet a little flat, and a slight suspicion that this one could knuckle over.

7a_CM+molly+xray.jpg (17061 bytes)
fs10

7b_CM+molly+xray.jpg (18431 bytes)

Ribshape too rounded and shallow, giving wider front.  Too much space between radius/ulna and ribcage,
too much turnout, short upper arm, lacks angulation and shoulders set too far forward.

8a_CM+chelsea+front.jpg (18398 bytes)
fs11

8b_CM+chelsea+front.jpg (16509 bytes)

Nice prosternum from side, pasterns too straight, nicely fitted
front, feet perhaps too straight forward and could use a little more turn out.

9a_steepfront.jpg (13909 bytes)
fs12

9b_straightfront.jpg (16179 bytes)

Incorrect terrier straight front.  Lacks the desired curve around the chest and depth in brisket. This is a very serious fault as it shows lack of breed type. Note from the side view the upright pastern.This dog will be short striding and inefficient on the move.
