Square Whippet

The oil painting " The Great Odalisque " * (91 × 162 cm) of Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres 1817th The subject of "Orientalism" was very fashionable. Without doubt, the French painter Ingres, one of the important representatives of the official art of the 19th
Century. Anatomy was his strength, but the viewer is at once the lady has a very long back . On the whole, the artist has DELIBERATELY three vertebrae more 'built in' as it has the human skeleton in real life. Also shows the left leg a peculiar angulation . Despite this, this naked beauty in the golden section (GS). This work is harmonious although the model's body error 'shows. In other words, what looks beautiful and harmonious does not look proves the correctness of the things ... A Whippet is 'right' look and still standard errors.

anticipation, there is not this Whippet OR really
he is a virtual example, that the today error (which we can often see in the show ring) and displays combined in one and the same greyhound. The golden section (GS), we need not create this, first served, one's looks at first glance, this is no longer Whippet! This dog is protracted, it fits with the best will no longer qualify for square, but he is almost as high as it is long, which compensates and somehow even "harmonious" effect if you like corners.
see what we continue?
A very beautiful head distinguishes this dog. This is too long for the body substance to narrow, weak neck the bad over into a camel- withers. When Dip bent from the back line and tells the dog in two.
After Dip follows a flat back section (no tension, no slight arch over the loin) and ends in a steep, sloping croup . The dog shows a keelboat forechest (Note: All dog is like a ship, not just the breast ), far too deep could that affect the movement of the movement. The chest line runs in a steep upward toward loin instead "to curve" . The ankles are no longer parallel to the ground and end in a extreme rear angulation which is slightly sichelbeinig . The rear part is therefore much assumed . This greyhound is not a Whippet more He shows us a angular exterior ( red). He is also a bit short on the legs. Where you can see still curve approaches, it is exaggerations ( = blue to deep chest, gross dip).
We can only hope that the current type loss over the years does not mean that there will be my top model shown in real life ...

The born in 2001 in Sweden Int, Swed, Norw, DK, Fin & GB champion Adagio Love Supreme (Zü. and owner Stefan Råghammar ) shows Curves as where they should be and how's the standard requires. Just as representatives of this great breed should look like a Whippet ... copyright: Adagio Whippets
