Ideally , the thigh, the same length as the lower leg:
One might assume is satisfied that condition the right balance between the thigh ( first thigh ) and lower leg l ( second thigh ) guaranteed is right, the entire rear. Think again , hind errors are usually at the angle of (knee):
This very long , modern Showdog from 2002 shows the right balance between the upper and lower leg ( blue ), but shows the rear something that can be assessed as a small mistake or fashion trend. The whippet, although not sichelbeinig somewhat easy überwinkelt . Otherwise, he shows curves , fine withers, back tension and good croup.

When it is the lower leg a little longer than the thigh and it also shows something more rear angulation. Nevertheless is in keeping with this dog and a wonderful specimens. @ Viv Coulter, private collection of George
This is also in the 2002 Danish-born champion male Vibes Jef, bred by Vibeke Vamberg Anderson, shows the right balance between top-u. leg (thigh 1st thigh/2nd ) and correct Angulation, slightly less than the Irishman. In his veins flows much ' Oakbark ' blood, and his pedigree goes back a full five times on the top sires Hillsdown Fergal , the whole with a dash of 'Saxon Shore ' from the States.
The feeling of harmony watching a hind really depends on the ratio of thigh from the lower leg. The Danish dog is prove us. Some, current show dogs have a longer leg , a trend that we see more and more. A to long leg can lead to deformity of the hip joint and cause dysplasia. This in turn inherited . The standard states explicitly, WARRANTIES exaggeration should be avoided and be counted in the show ring as an error. This is a good reason. If the rear subject to a design fault, one can speak of a 'vulnerability' or even of impending disease. With hip dysplasia is not something to take lightly, it is unfortunately often grown because an exaggerated hind yes "beautiful" works. dysplasia gesundtheitliches is a problem as we apply to other dogs (like the German shepherd dog) know unfortunately.
Therefore, it is in the hands of breeders, heritage, namely our beloved breed zubewahren so, as we have received them for generations. Free from hereditary diseases ... was
