It combines
Pat
Hastings’ Puppy Puzzle Presentation, as well as Hastings’
discussion of the value of structurally evaluating adult dogs that
are being considered for a breeding program, working trials or
performance competition, along with a veterinarian’s perspective on
how to reduce the risk of structural injuries in working and
performance dogs.
Dogs will do most anything we ask of them. The question is: Do we
want to ask them to do things that they are structurally incapable
of doing without breaking down? Is that what we really want to do to
our most steadfast companions? The more we learn about canine
structure, the more we understand what is reasonable to ask of our
dogs, given their physical strengths and weaknesses.
