[pyrnet] Re: Double dewies



From the AKC standard
FRONT FEET: ROUNDED, CLOSE-CUPPED, WELL PADDED,
        TOES WELL ARCHED.
        A sound front-end assembly is critical for breed function. Good
        reach is required for efficient movement on flat and rough
        terrain. Powerful shoulders and strong, flexible pasterns allow
        the Great Pyrenees to absorb shock as it easily descends steep
        slopes.
Pasterns are strong and flexible, set on at a slight slope to the
        lower leg bone.
        Each foreleg has a single dewclaw.

REAR FEET: THE REAR FEET HAVE A STRUCTURAL
        TENDENCY TO TOE OUT SLIGHTLY. THIS BREED
        CHARACTERISTIC IS NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH
        COWHOCKS. THE REAR FEET, LIKE THE FOREFEET, ARE
        ROUNDED, CLOSE-CUPPED, WELL PADDED WITH TOES WELL
        ARCHED.

        FAULT:

        ABSENCE OF DOUBLE DEWCLAWS ON EACH REAR LEG.
