Default "Dry" Body Type?

This may sound like a silly question, but what does it mean for a dog to have a "dry" body type? I've seen it mentioned in reference to CsVs, and also to huskies. From what I can tell, it sounds like a slim, athletic dog, is that right? Is there more to it than that? Thanks!

I guess you could add no loose skin(dewlap etc.).

If you want to evaluate (judge) a dog very fast (without taking into consiteration all the details written in tha standard) just look on its head and see the lips. By a typical CzW the lips must be closed and must make a slim black line. Here you have two good examples:

MALES:






FEMALES:





If the lips are hanging or even "open" (so you can see the gums) you can be sure the dog is not a very tipcal Wolfdog and for 100% it has many addtional faults like heavy (heavier) head, deep chest, short legs....

PS.
1) Evaluate ONLY adult dogs (3-4 years). By young dogs where the head is still developing it can happend that the lips are a little but hanging.
2) Evaluate ONLY awake dogs. Sleepy wolfdog do not keep their lips in good "position"

I had the same question a couple of years ago, Vicky, in reference to the bonitation code (R)!

Here is the old thread:

But you look the strange cases of the life:a romantic and poetic photo with a dog that looks at a grain of snow must be uses for explaining the correct face
