What the hell are "flushness" and "walking gait" (from the arrogantly titled "Close but not Quite" post)? The latter sounds more applicable to dog show judging standards.
A woman's fertility is measured by her hip-to-waist ratio; the optimal ratio is 7 to 10, or 6 to 10.
The age at which a woman begins to menstruate plays a role as well; the later she reached menarche (the beginning of menstruation) the longer in life her eggs will remain fertile, as fertility has more to do with the age of her eggs than with her physical age.
