Semi Arch Type Posing

Semi Arch Type Posing

Semi- Arch Type: Animals are longer in body and have a well defined rise starting at or near the back of the shoulder, and continuing to round over the back and hips to the base of the tail. High point of the rise should occur at the top of the hips. The side profile is to be tapered from the hindquarters through to the shoulder.

Animals are to be posed with the front feet directly under the eyes and the toes of the rear feet aligned with the front of the hips. Some breed may be allowed to move naturally after initial pose, to better evaluate specific type features.
