The Dog In Action (A Study of Anatomy and Locomotion as Applying to All Breeds)
By: McDowell Lyon
Originally published in 1950, The Dog In Action has been out of print until recently. The Dog In Action was the first book to thoroughly analyze, illustrate, and explain the under-the-skin workings of the dog. It showed people that the principles of movement apply to all breeds and is the foundation for all gait and locomotion books which have since been written. The Dog In Action is considered the finest technical book on dog movement ever written. But despite the technical subject matter, readers find that McDowell Lyon has a gift for making the principles of dog locomotion interesting and understandable for all levels of dog enthusiasts. One reviewer commented "It reads like a well-written mystery novel." Learn why we need to put functional soundness above everything else, why a dog must be dynamically balanced to function efficiently, and why no dog can be any better than his bone placement, conformation, and muscle tone.
