I'm not finished yet

Briefly attended a Champ show last Sunday I ended up traveling with Keith Hince as we are still waiting for this hose to come for the car and being a Rover you have to look to Unipart who are now making spares but the downfall you have to wait for it to come through so our part arrives Thursday just in time for its MOT, it's amazing the amount of dribble I can write....Well back to the show so we just took keith's girl Jazz she is daughter to our Sall it was a big class 27 and 3 from the previous class and for saying she had never been to a show in her 18 months of life she handled it very well she was a bit over come by being gone over by the judge and we kind of raced down the mat and well just slightly out of shape as well but then I do like them stringy LOL but all things considered to make the split of 12 and then binned I thought we did very well
We didn't hang as keith needed to get back but managed to have a quick chat as leaving to a couple of folk
So heres the bit about "I'm not finished yet"
I don't think for all the years I have been around that I have ever worked so hard to understand the Stafford construction as much as I am trying to this past year and the thing is the more you know the more you have to ask and where as before we looked at pedigrees and at dogs and just weighed up if they floated our boat or fitted our criteria, now I have to have a head ache weighing up if it's right and this has always been enough of a headache when looking for potential studs anyway without being so damn critical as well LOL
So the talk went onto that elusive upper arm subject again and this has been a major bloody head ache because I am torn with my previous ideas and the the ones that I am now questioning as in are we looking for a tall dog and how many inches away from 16" before we accept this is another exaggeration, funnily enough the judges and some in particular having banged on about exaggerations in our breed but when asked how tall before its regarded as an exaggeration not one would commit to saying so in affect they contradicting themselves as I see it. But lets forget tall lets look at the visual as mentioned so it's just a visual impression of leg and upper arm let me quote what I have been reading....Greyhounds and other Gaze-hounds have an extremely long upper arm which often drops the elbow point below the brisket line, shoulder blades sit at 45-degrees and in order to balance the whole thing out they have a sloping pastern which in our breed we would class as a weakness so back to the drawing board and hence my theory about a shallow brisket which then sacrifices heart room and lung room, a real mine field so the best I can do is for visual pleasure is to see a clean outline with good angulations but LOL does it come on a 16" dog a bitch I would have to say yes as our Sall is depicted as so and so being she moves the best as well so she has to be right if that makes sense.....measure for measure her and Tag are much the same the only difference being is Tag has more bone a deeper brisket and weighs about 3 lbs heavier.....Will I ever get it ?????? Maybe someone might explain it to me
