[Nebulosa]

Reading the Saarloos Wolfhound standard I find something very curious, when we arrive at the hindquarters, is write in the standard:
The backhand is normally hooked, powerful and muscular and it may be slightly cow-heeled.


I never have noted wolves with cow-heeled backhand, in most breeds cow heel is a problem because affect directly in the movimentation, Cow-heel is cause because the unbalance of the hindquarters that make the dog expel the knees and joining the heels, some studies comprove that cow-heeled dogs have more possibilities to present Hip Displasia.
So, Why Saarloos Wolfhound may have a sightly cow-heel? In what it will improve the breed and help the dog in movimentation?
