Hindquarters:
The hindquarters are strongly muscled with angulation in balance with that
of the forequarters. The upper and lower thighs are long,
broad and curved with hard, well developed musculature. Leg
well angulated at the stifle with a well "let down" hock joint.
Viewed from the rear at a stance, the hind legs should be
straight with the hock joints leaning neither in nor out. A vertical
line drawn parallel to the rear thigh should fall directly on the rear
toes. The Boxer has no rear dewclaws. |
