Measuring a Schip

This is from the 1940 Schipperke book put out by the SCA.

Schip measurements are from point of shoulder to point of buttock and
from top of whithers to the floor. Square would be equal measurements.
To get a graceful trot, the dog must actually be aprox. 5% longer and have
proper angulation and balance and set on of the front and rear assemblies.
