When taking pictures of Ben, I found it was easier to capture these without his mom in the room. When she was there to hold his position with food/leash, he had a tendency to lean forward, extending the hips and trunk rather than in a neutral stance. The side shots are at a slight angle, which was not my intention. And the facing forward pic was hard to capture before he moved, as he's young and a bit of a wiggle worm, so the back feet are slightly offset.

10 second stand analysis:
a) Are they able to hold the stand for ten seconds without sitting or lying down?
Yes
b) Are they shifting more weight onto their forelimbs?
Ben appeared evenly balanced in weight distribution
c) Are they shifting more weight onto their hindlimbs?
No
d) Are they avoiding putting a good deal of weight on one of their limbs?
No
e) Do you have any concerns about their topline?
Yes - slight roaching in lumbar region. Owner has brought this up in discussion. He has had recent rads and vet assessment for this - all clear with no structural concerns or signs of discomfort.

Earl was able to stand for the entire shooting. He transferred weight according to the movement of the treats in his owner’s hands 😅 but I notice more weight on his left hind leg.

Amber in a stand. The only thing that moved was her head. What I see in the video is that her hind legs are a little tucked under her body. So there is a little more weight on her hind legs than should be.
So that is something we should address in training

I'm sorry but this time a lot went wrong. I don't even know if the document downloaded correctly. I forgot the sit  and down pictures en the picture fro, the right  was constantly "photo bombed" ( there were 14 dogs in the room at that time).

The measurements show some differance in right and left leg. Next time I will take those measurements again and then I allso will do the missing pictures.
Amber is a Galgo Espagnol. She is 3 years of age and a rescue. Her topline is great.
Her owner has plans to take her for runs and wants Amber to be in good shape for that.

Forte had an incident of lameness in his left hind limb 3 months ago.  Together with the orthopedist, we focus on the knee and a possible slight strain of the ccl.  Currently, in the examination by the orthopedist and me, we do not see any relief in the limb, limited mobility or pain.  The collected measurement show that there is still a difference in muscle mass between the limbs, but it is much smaller than before and in my opinion, this limb after the injury gains muscules very nicely.

Charlie: Photos, Measurements, & 10 Second Stand Observations

# data[].attributes.body
Was not able to get photo of her in stand position (or guide the handler to do it) she immediately sit down. This one will need to practice more. I would did not imagine it would be that difficult to have proper photos of smaller dog due to fact she does not know how to stand without staring and weigth shifting a lot to front feets. Also the measures were really hard to take as she is not use to this. Also working with the handler was quite challenging, but I learned that showing them and describing every small detail is very helpful

This assignment was an interesting one. I thought it would be easier, and I took some photos on Wednesday. When I was going to edit them, I realized that they were not great photos, so I took them on Saturday again. ( Same with the videos)

When analyzing a 10 second stand, Furia is able to maintain the position without any trouble. She does not need to sit or lay down. I don’t see that she is shifting weight onto their forelimbs, but I do think she is shifting weight onto her right rear limb. This can be also seen in the photos taken from the rear when standing. My concern is if she is actually shifting/avoiding weight or if this is just the handler’s position. In any case, there is outward rotation of the stifles. I don’t have any concerns about the topline, as it is a level topline.

This was a real learning experience. I actually do pet photography as part of my business, but this was different. Magnus was getting  bored with the whole thing. He is very young, a rescue, and still in training and can be a shark. Yes, he is wearing a pinch collar in the sit where he is facing me, we needed to redo this because he was moving in all the ones we took a couple days ago. We did them at the park where we re-did some of the gait videos. I have had a conversation about it's use, and did talk with Tara and Deb about this. I was really in a dilemma. I needed to hit a deadline, but, in a real situation, I would have stopped everything right there and would have handled it quite differently. At least Magnus is not leashed to it in this photo.

For the 10 second stand:
- Magnus had no problem holding the stand
- He was indeed shifting his weight somewhat forward, and to his left
- His back legs are not square with his body and he does turn his right paw out.

This was the first time the owner realized he was doing this every time he stands. She does know Magnus has some hip issues, but had no idea it was clearly impacting his body.

This was very interesting for me as Hazel kept sitting/standing oddly and I thought her position was affected by our reward placement (head tilting more upwards). After I took multiple shots of the same position but at different locations did I realise that it was actually how she sat/stood. Will have to practice more on getting their head and neck in a more neutral position for these shots.

a) Are they able to hold the stand for ten seconds without sitting or lying down?
- Yes
b) Are they shifting more weight onto their forelimbs?
- No
c) Are they shifting more weight onto their hindlimbs?
- No
d) Are they avoiding putting a good deal of weight on one of their limbs?
- I wouldn't say that she is avoiding weighting a particular limb but there is definitely a shift in weight bearing in the hindlimbs given her wider stance.
e) Do you have any concerns about their topline?
- Topline is level as stipulated in the breed standard.

Jasper is a young rehome border collie. He didn’t have the best start in life but is doing fantastic now and is slowly building muscle. He has been cleared by an orthopaedic vet and has been on a weight gaining program with his normal vet. He is now at the desired weight.

Observations from a 10 second stand:

He was able to hold a 10 second stand without sitting or lying down once he was calm and not expecting something exciting to happen.

No noticeable shifting of weight to forelimbs or hindlimbs however he does have east west paws due to a lack of shoulder muscle and turned out stifles also due to a lack of muscle.

There was no avoidance of weight on any limb but his hind limbs are held slightly wide.

His top line is normally flat but it can be difficult to get still photos in a natural position as he does like to move. Once observing and not taking photos the top line was flat.

This was a challenge and I recognize that some of this is not ideal, but hopefully you can see the intent! (I can show you what I've done to document my own dogs if that would help for the assignment, but this also illustrates real life.) Her owner hurt her knee and was unable to help with most of this. Sig had no real desire to stay with me and didn't want my treats. I don't like being so close to her or having her handler so close to her here. She was being a stinker for the sit and refused to down even for her owner. Her owner sent me the down later from home when she had help.

There's a little bit of an angle to the camera and horizon line. I had to take these as still shots from a video since I was on my own for this. I was hoping I could fix it in the editing software, but have not figured out how. I could probably try to remove the background and use these, but in general, I think they need to be redone when her owner can help more.

I don't 100% trust these measurements as again, I was holding her still and measuring, but I did take each measurement multiple times to try to make sure I was as accurate as possible.

10 Second Stand also needs to be redone when I have help. From my informal observation while hanging out with Sig though: Yes, she was able to hold it without sitting or lying down and did not appear to be shifting weight to the front or rear or avoiding putting weight on a particular limb. I don't have concerns about her topline.

A. Can they hold a stand for 10 seconds without sitting or laying down - Yes
B. Are they shifting more weight to the fore limbs - No
C. Are they shifting more weight to the hind limbs - No
D. Are they avoiding putting weight on one of their limbs - No, but slight weight shift to the right fore and hind limbs
E. Any concerns re the top line? - No, as per breed standard - "with a firm level topline, strong and well-muscled loins and good depth of flank."

Daisy, 8-year-old Labradoodle.
Standing for 10 seconds.

A: No, Daisy was able to stand for the 10 secs without sitting or lying down.
B: No, Daisy did not shift weight onto her forelimbs.
C: No, Daisy did not shift weight onto her hind limbs.
D: No, Daisy wasn't avoiding putting a good deal of weight on one of her limbs.
E:  No: I do not have concerns about her topline at this point in time. The two stand photos are different. When she stands with her hind limbs further out her topline is different as to the first photo. These two photos were taken on consecutive days, and I believe it shows how photos are a snapshot in time and to be mindful of that.

The hard part was to get Otis just to stop moving! When I was finally able to get his pictures (a different day), he stood still for probably 20 seconds or more but I couldn't video it since I was talking pics :)

10 SECOND STAND

Able to hold stand with out sitting or lying down ---- YES

Shifting more weight onto their forelimbs ---- No

Shifting more weight onto their hindlimb?  ---- No

Avoiding putting a good deal of weight on one of their limbs  ---- No

Any concerns about their topline?I think if the back legs were extended a bit more, the top line would flatten even more. He seems comfortable in ‘his’ normal stand.

c) His 10 second stand looked solid to me. He was able to hold it without sitting or lying down. He didn’t appear to be weight shifting onto either the forelimbs or the hindlimbs. His weight looked pretty evenly distributed across all four limbs. He did not appear to be shifting more weight onto any one foot in particular. I also did not see any changes in his topline during this exercise. It remained pretty level and straight.

(Also, I'm sorry about the green mat. I thought it would be helpful if nothing else to increase friction, but I think it ended up being more of a distracting element in the photos)

Otis is a 5 year old neutered male, All American (Jack Russell Mix) and is friendly as heck which meant it took three separate attempts to get his pics! His ever wagging tail was such a joy to see. I will post his 10 second stand separately.....

# data[].attributes.body
I would not really believe the measurements but I wanted to write something down. It took over half an hour in total to get a few numbers and get the medium from those. He is just really happy when I get near him, so he does not really stop moving around. Even slight pressure around or on his paws (to get the shoulders and thighs) made him take a step within seconds. He does have a decent stand on targets, which he had under the paws, but he is just too excited about people to remain calm.

The observation for 10 second standing:
a) He is able to stand for 10 seconds but only after he moved the hind paws more ventral.
b) He is shifting more weight onto his forelimbs.
c) He is not shifting weight onto his hindlimbs.
d) He is not putting a good deal of weight on one of his limbs but he prefers keeping his left forelimb and left hindlimb more ventral.
e) I do not have concerns about his topline.

Hi Tara,
This assignment is incomplete, I will be back home next week and can finish it if that is okay with you. I will also retake the bottom 3 pictures to get better quality and add the 10 second stand video.
