>>> You conveniently miss that joints are a consideration in the Legs, >>> quality section as well. No, I didn't "conveniently miss" that, Phil. I mentioned distinctly in several posts that I find it odd that the part of the legs that I consider most important, the JOINTS, are only judged 3%. I also went to the trouble to cut and paste the entire weighting formula, showing how the 40% is distributed. If you missed that in my posts, I'm sorry. ---------------------------------------------------------- I know it does not matter to you but the 3%, as you say, is for the "Legs, joints" section. There is also a "Legs, quality" section that is worth 6%. The first notes from that section are for "correct limbs" and then "strong joints". There may not be enough emphasis placed on the limbs for you or a number of list members but you don't have to try and make your point by ignoring what is there. ---------------------------------------------------------- *Karen wrote from a second post How many of us have talked about all the good information we've learned from Liz Graves at her clinics? ---------------------------------------------------------- It is all well and good that Liz Graves has taught you what to look for. But how does that help the breed as a whole. Liz does not have the capacity to look at all Icelandic breeding stock. So I ask again; Does anyone know of evaluations from other breeds or disciplines that we can look at? Phil
