![]() A dog that is upright in the pastern gives an overall appearance of being alert, or up on its toes ready for whatever comes up. Pasterns are often described as being upright in the pastern, or down in the pasterns. The patterns like a wrist are a joint and easily bend and allow for extension of the foot while the dog is in motion. The part of a dog which would be it’s wrist is called a pastern. Now wrists are pretty easy to point out on a human or dog, but if you point at a dog and say something about a wrist you will immediately be labeled a newbie, novice, or know nothing individual. Closed nares are also referred to as pinched nares. They often inhibit breathing and can lead to breathing problems. Closed nares are often undesired, for the opposite reason. Open nares are desired as they allow easy breathing and dogs, especially bulldog breeds will be described as clean breathers when they have wide open nares. Nares in relation to dogs are often discussed by describing them as open or closed. The actual nostrils on a dog however are called nares. However a person will identify a canines nose by several different terms. These body parts are not new to a persons information storage, but new terminology when discussing dogs with those who judge, work, or study canines as a career or serious hobby.Ī canines nose is easy enough, it’s easily found and identifiable to even a non dog person. It’s easy when we are talking about common differences such as paws to feet, or fur to skin, but often becomes more confusing when discussing other parts of the dogs anatomy. I often engage in conversations with individuals that are new to discussing structures in dogs and the terms used to describe body parts.
