I was looking at Leyon de akido san's photos. Nice dog BTW. http://www.akidosan.com/leyton.html
In the first photo he looks was over angulated and appears to have a sloping top line. Other photos he looks level. Soooooo, are they stacking him to appear this way? The FCI standard from what I recall calls for a level top line as well. Yet you look at many Euor dobes and obviously they look to be sloping and overangulated.
So the question is, are they being presented this way? And why? Why would one stack the dog with more bend in the stifle thus shortening the height of the rear?
