Doubt's about the bonitation code

[massimo]

Sona,
it's always an honour for us that you share your knowledge.
I would like to ask aquestion about 55% elbow/withers.
Is it an ideal value or a minimum?
I mean, a value to far away but also too high (ex. 60 or 65%) is also negative?
I think yes but I'm not so sure.

It reflects that desirable length of the front leg to the elbow is 55 % of the overall higth. Index of format is a ratio of the body length to the higth at withers x 100 and it should be max 111.
