What is a "wicket"?Posted by: Karin McDonaldCategory: Breed Standard Posted on: March 28, 2001 at 01:02:19

| Question:
My boy is on the tall side, and I have read your criteria for measuring the height of a jrt, but I have NO CLUE what a wicket is!! I have stood him up, placed a yard stick next to him in the same spot as shown in your example, then placed the flat of my hand across the highest point of his shoulders, and determined his height where my hand and the yard stick meet (he's almost 14 inches with this method). Is that correct, or is the measurement suppose to incorporate the curve of the dog from the center of his shoulders to the ground?
