What's Your Angle: Understanding Angulation and Structure for the Performance Dog

It’s good info if you’re a beginner struggling with angles. I was hoping for more detailed information personally. A little pricy for what you get.

Fantastic book on dog structure! If you are interested in learning about how dogs are put together, or should be put together, you need to read this very easy to understand book. It really opened my eyes and gave me a much needed, thorough understanding of what a good dog should look like. We all want healthy, sturdy dogs so help yourself get one by knowing what they should look like!

I absolutely loved this book. It makes the structure-performance relationship so clear. I also bought one for a anatomy challenged friend. I no longer have to explain what withers & croup are and why it matters whether they are high, low, level, sloped, etc. We had fun taking pictures of our dogs and analyzing them together, though since they are practically twin sisters there was very little difference in structure.

This is a great book if you have a working dog and you would like to learn more about structure. Easy to understand with great illustrations. Be sure to check out her other book too, Picking Your Performance Puppy. The focus is primarily on agility dogs, but people who do other performance venues like obedience and field would benefit as well.

This is a great book for those who want to evaluate a dog's movement.

Funky illustrations but good substance.

Very poor printing, I don't expect to so quality on a booklet even for $5. The book is easy to understand, though I miss more information regarding different breeds. For example; the different retrievers and gun dogs are supposed to have different reach of neck and different shoulder angulation due to different retrieving capabilities; some shall pick up the bird horizontally, some vertically , and it is of outmost important to know the difference and not at least the importance of this.Recommend the book to people who wants to know the basics, but for breeders, judges (both eksterior and field-trail) I recommend "Dogs in motion" by Fischer and Lilje.

This book was a revelation to me, and I've been studying books on how to understand it for ages! This gives you pinpoints that explain what you see in graphic terms; brilliant! And the author really understands her subject AND explains everything so clearly!

Very easy read, well explained on taking the right photo of your dog and how to look at the angles of the dog. I liked this book but wish it was more about dogs for the show ring as she in my opinion aims more for the agility dog. Which confused me, I thought there is only one standard for each breed but the way this book is written it seems the breed standard varies to that of the agility dog. Saying that I did enjoy the book.

And it is as informative as expected

As a vet with performance dogs I found this book great. I've still not managed to photograph my dogs and draw lines on them though!

it interests people who view construction as an important feature in a dog

Das Buch empfiehlt glatt, man möge den Hund an der Rute ziehen (um ihn für ein Foto besser zu positionieren). Es wird auch empfohlen mit Würger zu arbeiten die ganz hoch hinter die Ohren hochgezogen werden weil man so den Hund besser "kontrollieren" kann. Das alles nur um ein gutes Foto zu machen. Im Prinzip, wäre das was man erreichen will (ein gutes Foto) auch mit non-aversiven Mitteln (z.B. kompetentes Training) möglich.Im Grunde, kann das Buch noch so toll sein wenn es um Winkelungen geht. Wenn man den Hund für ein Foto an der Rute zieht - stimmt was nicht in der Grundideologie.
