Dr. Claudia Orlandi, of Essex Junction, Vermont, has been in the fancy for over 50 years. She has successfully bred Basset Hounds for more than 25 years under the Topsfield prefix and with her late husband, Dom, has produced over 140 champions. Topsfield Bassets have won more than 120 All-Breed Bests in Show and hold numerous Breed and All-Breed show records. The top group-winning dog and the top-producing dam in the history of the breed were bred by Topsfield and the top winning dam was sired by a Topsfield dog. Claudia’s enthusiasm for breeding is matched only by her passion for teaching and working with other breeders. Her ABC’s of Dog Breeding and Practical Canine Anatomy & Movement self-study courses form part of the AKC’s Bred with H.E.A.R.T. education program, reflecting her belief that anyone can understand the practical rules of genetics and canine structure in their quest to breed better, healthier dogs. Knowledge, coupled with integrity and honesty about health problems, are cornerstones of her breeding and teaching philosophy. Claudia has authored numerous articles and for many years chaired BHCA Judges’ and Breeders’ Education for which she developed an educational concept called Basset Hound University, whose course designs are available for parent clubs to use as templates. Claudia never charges for her popular seminars and has spoken at over 150 dog clubs and AKC/CHF Breeder’s Symposia. She judges Basset Hounds, Dachshunds, PBGV’s, Beagles, Basenjis, Rhodesian Ridgebacks and Junior Showmanship. She is a 2009 Dogs in Review Outstanding Breeder nominee, winner of the 2009 American Kennel Club Breeder of the Year award and a finalist for the 2016 AKC Lifetime Achievement Award. In 2015 she was honored by Dog Fancy Magazine as one of the “45 people who changed the dog world” by helping to improve dog breeding and making canine genetics easier to understand. The Practical Canine Anatomy & Movement Program: Practical Canine Anatomy & Movement is designed to be an introduction for the novice and a review for experienced judges and breeders. Successful breeding and judging draw upon talents that are both science and art. The science of breeding and judging is a working knowledge of canine anatomy and movement; the art of breeding and judging is having an “eye for a dog,” or the ability to correctly and easily evaluate the dog as one piece when it is both standing and in motion. In its attempt to discuss individual anatomical parts in terms of the whole dog, Practical Canine Anatomy and Movement is guided by science and art and takes a lay person’s approach to a potentially complex subject. Part I of the textbook discusses key skeletal and surface parts of the dog standing that judges and breeders should know and approaches the topic of canine anatomy from the point of view of evaluating the standing dog’s structural balance based on 4 important elements, which include (1) size, (2) substance, (3) stance and (4) proportions. Part II looks at the dog in motion from the judges’ and breeders’ point of view. By discussing the standing and moving dog’s individual parts and how they relate to its structural balance, the goal is to reinforce the important judging and breeding principles of never losing sight of the whole dog and the idea that no one feature is ever more important than the sum of a dog’s parts. Learning to evaluate the dog as “one piece” is one of the unifying themes of our discussion because it goes hand in hand with learning to develop an eye for a dog. Complex technical terminology and anatomical concepts appropriate for veterinarians and engineers are not the focus of this work. Rather the goal is a practical, layman’s approach that can help anyone, regardless of their breed or experience, learn to understand what they see regarding their dog’s structure and motion.
