Overview

Study the Dog From the Inside-Out!
Written in 1950, The Dog in Action was the first book to thoroughly analyze, illustrate and explain the under-the-skin workings of the dog. Whether looking at a Pom or Pointer, McDowell Lyon showed the dog breeder, fancier and judge that the principles of movement applied to all. The modern dog fancier now can own this Classic in dog literature.

The modern dog breeder, judge and fancier will learn:
� To put functional soundness above everything else.
� Why the trot shows the faults and virtues of a dog�s running gear.
� That every animal that moves can teach us about functional conformation.
� Why a dog must be dynamically balanced to function efficiently.
� That no dog can be any better then his bone placement, conformation and muscle tone.
� How to develop a thorough knowledge of dogs in order to interpret a breed standard.
