边境牧羊犬百科——关于身体/体型/背线狗狗的身体它不是相对于血统、性格这些而言的广义上的“身体”，而是用来指明“肉体不同部位”的狭义上的“身体”——就是那个连着四肢、尾巴、脖子的“身体”。这篇文章主要涉及到的就是：体长、身高是如何测量的。其中几个关键部位在下图中做了标注：边境牧羊犬是工作犬、运动犬，所以身体都是围绕这个前提来“配置”的：良好的胸腔深度和宽度，以提供肺部足够大的空间来提高运动中所需要的肺活量。合理的体长和身高，便于奔跑和跳跃。我们还是先来看标准:ANKC边境牧羊犬澳洲标准：BODYStandard - The body is moderately long with well sprung ribs tapering to afairly deep and moderately broad chest. The loins are broad, deep, muscular and only slightly arched, flanks deep and not cut up.In profile the Border Collie should be slightly longer, measured from the point of shoulder to the rear of the upper thigh than in height from ground to withers. The ratio being approx. 10:9. (See Pg.7). The top line is level with only a slight rise over the loin, which is broad, deep and muscular, flowing gracefully through the croup to the low set tail (See main diagram). The length of loin in a mature adult (male) should be approx. a hand width (4/100mm)The length in the body should be in the ribcage, not the loin, whilst depth of chest should ideally reach to the elbow. (See Pg.5) ‘Well sprung ribs’ should never be interpreted as barrel ribbed.The amount of coat falling from the flanks and loin can affect the appearance of the cut up.A dippy, sloping or roach back is undesirable.身体标准-身体长度适度，肋骨扩张良好。胸腔深而宽度适中。腰部宽阔、深厚、强壮。有轻微的拱起，侧腹部深而但腹线不上收。从侧面看边境牧羊犬应略长，测量从肩点到大腿上部后方比从地面到马肩隆（爱丁堡注：即肩胛骨最高点）高度比率约10:9（见标准第7页的图片/下图）。背线是水平的只在腰部位置有轻微的拱起，它又宽又深并且肌肉发达。流畅优雅地通过臀部到达尾部（见主图）。成犬的腰部长度（雄性）应约为一掌宽（4英寸/ 10厘米）。身内长度应该在胸腔，不是腰部（此处爱丁堡也不肯定表达的意思，谁明白可以留言赐教，不过貌似不是重点. . .），同时胸部的深度应该达到肘部。（见标准第5页）“肋骨扩张良好”不能解释为桶状肋骨（爱丁堡注：扩张良好表示胸腔有适度的容量，但不表示可以过分外扩，那就属于畸形了）。胸胁至腰部的外侧下垂的毛量会影响腹线的外观。一个不正常的、倾斜或凹陷的背是不理想的。AKC边境牧羊犬美国标准：Topline?– Back is level with a slight muscular rise over the loin, falling to a gently sloping croup.?Body?is athletic in appearance with a deep, moderately broad chest reaching no further than the point of the elbow.
