[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.
