SIGHTHOUNDS AS ATHLETES

POETRY IN MOTION

by Mary Beth Arthur

Reprinted with the permission of Mary Beth Arthur. From Pure-Bred Dogs/AKC Gazette, Oct. 1986.

Sighthounds are one of the most structurally functional groups of dogs for a specialized purpose. Their purpose is to sight, chase, and run down game. Greyhounds and Whippets have been further developed for speed to race competitively. Structurally, sighthounds are true athletes. They have been selectively bred for those attributes that produce speed, strength, agility and quick reflexes.

Many of the sighthounds were developed to hunt a specific animal (rabbit or wolf) in a specific environment (desert or rough terrain). These facts helped determine their size and structural characteristics. For example, the Afghan Hound was often used to hunt in rough terrain; the Scottish Deerhound hunted the Red Deer in hilly country; the Whippet was originally used as a rabbit catcher and racer in England.

The criteria used in determining if a breed is a sighthound or not are open to debate. Traditionally, the Afghan Hound, Borzoi, Greyhound, Irish Wolfhound, Saluki, Scottish Deerhound and Whippet have been categorized as sighthounds. Other breeds that hunt by sight, as well as scent and listening ability are the Basenji, Ibizan Hound, Pharaoh Hound and Rhodesian Ridgeback. Although some purists might question whether these breeds are true sighthounds, they will be considered as such for this article. The Italian Greyhound of the Toy Group is a Greyhound in miniature, but because of its small size, is not really used for coursing.

VALUE OF AERODYNAMIC STRUCTURE

Although there are differences between sighthound breeds, they possess many common traits that favor more aerodynamic structural features, since lots of bulk and body would lessen speed and agility. Heads are long and lean; bone is thinner, lighter and flatter yet still strong; the body is narrower; bodies are flexible and elastic as well as longer to increase stride length at the gallop. Generally, the body of sighthounds is lean in outline with a definite tuck up, yet well covered with muscle. Muscle mass is increased in the rear quarters, through the topline and forequarters to add speed and strength to deal with the stresses created by high speed and quick turns. Muscling is long and strong, not thick, bunchy or undeveloped. Sighthounds utilize the double suspension gallop, the swiftest of canine gaits, with speeds up to 40 mph in the Greyhound and 35 mph in the Whippet.

As the name implies, there are two periods of suspension when all four feet are off the ground (see Figure 1). One phase is when the dog is completely tucked up with the topline curved; the other phase is when the dog is completely extended with the topline flattened and the entire body almost parallel with the ground. This extreme flexibility is not possible without strong musculature over the back and loin to bow and straighten the body.

As in all dogs, sighthound structure begins with the skeleton, which is held together by muscle, ligaments, and tendons. Instead of being solid, the skeleton is articulated and gives at a great number of points and in various directions. To a large extent, the musculature determines how a dog will move. In addition, other factors such as attitude/temperament, general health and physical condition will influence movement. The skeleton is important, but too much emphasis should not be put on skeletal influence. Quoting Steve Copold from the January/February 1976 The Gazehound, "The most perfect bone structure is worthless without adequate muscle to make it function properly." The skeleton provides the basis for support and the muscles, ligaments, and tendons create the action of movement among the various parts of the dog. The skeleton and musculature must be strong enough to deal with stresses that are as strong in an upward, lateral or downward direction.

The sighthound's forelimb is used for thrusting upward and for forward propulsion. Theshoulder/scapula is connected to the thoracic vertebrae by muscle, much like a sling. Each front leg is independently suspended by muscles.

The persistent belief that a 45° shoulder angle is desirable on sighthounds has been disproven by a number of authorities, e.g., Rachel Page Elliott, The New Dogsteps; Curtis Brown, Dog Locomotion and Gait Analysis; and Connie Miller, November/December 1975 The Gazehound, among others. Quoting Rachel Page Elliott, "A 45-degree slant, or layback, would be workable if the blade were a stationary bone with a more or less fixed joint from which the upper arm moved forward and back. But this is not the case. What we have failed to recognize is the great mobility of the shoulder blade as partner to the action of the upper arm, which serves as a lever in lifting and transporting the central body forward as smoothly as possible." Because of the extreme mobility of the shoulder, forward motion is not determined by the standing angle as previously thought. This is not to approve of a very straight shoulder however, as it is incorrect.

Exact degree measurements of the shoulder are not necessary. Instead, just categorize the sighthound's shoulder angle as straight, moderate (approximately 70° off the level or 20° off the vertical) or well laid back (approximately 60° off the level or 30° off the vertical). It is very difficult to determine exact shoulder angle without proper equipment, and the angle will vary from moment to moment with the tiniest posture change of the dog.

The length of the upper arm/humerus should be at least as long as the shoulder blade/scapula, or 1:1.

It is important for the sighthound to have width between the blades at the withers. In a Whippet, the width between blades should be greater than two fingers and more on larger sighthounds. This width will allow the head freedom to be lowered. The Borzoi standard calls for shoulders to be line at the withers" and the Deerhound standards states "not too much width." These two breeds were used to hunt large game instead of scooping up small prey.

Great leg length is a sighthound adaptation for speed as pointed out by Curtis Brown. He states, "Increasing leg length up to a certain point tends to increase stride length . . . Swift traveling dogs have a lower leg length about 1.3 times longer than the depth of chest . . . Dogs displaying endurance at the gallop have a lower leg length about equal to 1.2 to 1.25 times the depth of chest."

Pasterns must be strong yet elastic. During the double suspension gallop, the pastern is incredibly bent, laying flat on the ground. It's strength helps to break the falling motion of the dog as well as help it spring upward.

IMPORTANCE OF FLEXIBILITY The body of the sighthound should be supple. Any inflexibility inhibits freedom of motion. The flexible, powerful back and body musculature must bow and straighten during the double suspension gallop. Mr. A. Brazier Howell concluded in his book, Speed in Animals, that in a body which has much bending of the trunk, such as sighthounds, a long body is an aid and is desirable. Body length is, for the most part, determined by the length of the individual vertebrae. A long body is obviously a speed adaptation in the Greyhound and Whippet; however, in some of the sighthounds (Afghan Hound, Basenji, and Pharaoh Hound) a shorter, squarer body is desirable where agility and endurance are critical. It takes more energy to bend and straighten a long body. The Basenji and Pharaoh Hound have level toplines. The sighthounds resembling the Greyhound prototype have a topline with a noticeable arch. This arch should not start at the withers. The arch actually begins in the thoracic region, after the anticlinal vertebrae where the vertebrae change direction from pointing backward to forward. Beyond the anticlinal vertebrae, the vertebrae point forward. This change in direction of the spines creates a slight"dip." This dip is normal; however, an accentuated dip is incorrect. This arch is most obvious in the lumbar area of the topline. The highest point of the arch should not be any higher than the highest point of the withers.

In sighthounds, underline is just as important as topline. Curtis Brown states, "During swift galloping, when the flexible back is used, a stomach without a tuck up hinders the spine flexing ... It is the sighthounds and other breeds designed for swift galloping which should have a tuck up."

The angle of the pelvis helps to determine the ability to extend the hindquarters behind the body in conjunction with the musculature. If the pelvis is steep, the hindquarters are usually restricted in their backward extension. Curtis Brown notes that agility may be aided by a steeper croup, but musculature causes rearward extension.

Mr. Howell observed, in Speed in Animals, that adaptations for speed involve the hind limb more frequently than the forelimb. Hindquarters provide most of the forward propulsion at the gallop. Sighthound hindquarters are well constructed for speed and suited for leaping. When viewed from behind, the hindquarters are muscular, carrying down to the hock. When viewed in profile, the upper and lower thigh should be broad with noticeable muscling.

Rear angulation is the relation of the upper thigh (femur) to the second thigh (tibia). The ratio should be 1:1. Excessive angulation is a detriment to the sighthound as it requires excess energy to move. A slight bend of stifle is called for in the Basenji and Pharaoh Hound. The Ibizan Hound calls for hindquarters nearly vertical.

EVALUATING A TROT

We have now addressed many of the various structural characteristics that make sighthounds a unique and specialized group.But what about their gait and movement? In the show ring sighthound movement is evaluated at the trot. The trot is a natural gait in sighthounds and they should be efficient at it. Although the trot will not reveal galloping ability, it is the only practical way to determine how the limbs move, whether they are coordinated, properly made, balanced, healthy and conditioned. Sighthounds have a lighter trot with more spring than non-sighthounds. It should not be labored or plodding. When viewed on the down and back, the sighthound's movement will converge toward a center line. the legs should remain in a straight line from the hip to the paw.

Curtis Brown states, in Dog Locomotion and Gait Analysis, that good galloping dogs (sighthounds) will not be good trotting dogs like German Shepard Dogs due to differences in construction. His studies and observations have led him to conclude that sighthounds have shortened reach due to the straighter shoulder. However, some of the sighthound standards (i.e., Whippet) call for a long low trot with reach and drive to indicate efficient movement. Mr. Brown observes, "Dogs designed to be superior gallopers should be expected to trot differently from those designed to be superior trotters." Also he concludes that if sighthound breeds are selectively bred to be efficient trotters, they will decrease their ability to gallop. Some objective evidence is presented by Mr. Brown to substantiate his statements. Further discussion among breed experts should be done to determine exactly what is the proper movement in the sighthound breeds.

We are indeed fortunate to have present day canine anatomy and movement experts using modern techniques to enlighten us. (To better understand sighthound structure and gait, see References below.)

Although much has been written on structure and movement in dogs, words never quite fully convey the dynamics of sighthound structure and movement. The best way to appreciate sighthounds is to watch them in action, galloping in the field or coursing and racing on the track.

"Bonzo" is pictured finishing his championship under judge Robert Moore. "Bonzo" was awarded his first points in January 1988, finishing in September. He also qualified for the C.D. degree in only three trials. "Bonzo" has won 40 National Point Race Meets, is ranked second in all-time national points and is now the #1 all-time dual-purpose Whippet.

We are proud of Ch. Marial's Palmeridge White Bear, who finished his championship in 1988. Congratulations to breeder, Lou Ann Almquist.

MARIAL'S WHIPPETS

"Bear" was owned and shown by Mary Beth and Doug Arthur and Bernice Strauss. He now lives with his new owner, Spencer Zogg of Racine, Wisconsin. "Bear" finished with 4 major wins under judge Betty Krause and breeder-judges Joan Frailey, John Shelton and Isabell Speight.

No Champion here!!! "Allie" has one major and 1 2 points. Breeder-judge Stephen Hubbell gave her a 4 point major (WB&BOW) at the Land 0 Lakes KC on June 12, 1988. She has been awarded points by Betty Krause, Les Kodner, Dorothy Nickles, Robert Moore, J.D. Jones and Robert Tongren. "Allie" has decided that she hates indoor shows and lets everyone know it. This also,unfortunately, includes the judges. But we'll keep looking for that elusive 3-point major. "Allie" is also a grade C racer on the NPR track.

"Allie" and "Bear" were sired by Ch. Locar Marial's London Fog out of Marial's Nekoosa.
"Allie" is co-owned with Mary Beth Arthur.

"WILBUR" finished at fifteen months with three majors, including Winners Dog at the A.W.C. National Specialty. Thank you again judge Isabell Stoffers Speight! Specialed lightly, he has two B.O.B.s to his credit. But showing is only one aspect of this versatile young dog's life. At his first field trial, he was second place for 30 points, out of sixteen dogs. First went to his aunt, Bitterblue's Muzzle Flash, now a F.Ch. A toe injury kept him off the field for the remainder of the year. But he'll be back next year! He is also a qualified racer. He enjoys obedience work and hopes to make his debut in Dallas next year at the National. "WILBUR" is the proud sire of two outstanding litters. He will be bred to our Ch. Sithean's Lolita Bitterblue, FCh. in '89. Hopefully, we'll have puppies this time!!
