Rear Quarters
The standard says; Drooping , broad and powerful, hips well set apart. Hind legs well bent at stifle with great length from hip to hock, Bone broad and flat. . The rear end, in our opinion, is the engine and propells the dogs at great speed. The bone needs to be strong and powerful with good muscle and especially a good first and second thigh. Nice width in the second thigh will give the right balance to the hound. It is worth bearing in mind this often does not come until the hound has finished growing and is reaching maturity usually between 2 and 3 years of age. |
