I have given these two Rhodesian Ridgeback bitches the same head so as not to detract from their structural differences. With their smooth coats, well muscled-bodies, and when positioned at the same angle, these two Group placers demonstrate a good forechest and a poor forechest.
Handicapped by a steep shoulder and upper arm, Bitch A´s balance is disruped by lack os forechest resulting in the whole forequarter assembly having moved forward on the body. At the trot Bitch A´s action is restricted whereas that of Bitch B is not.
