Many folks would be highly offended if they were described as having an “apple round rear,” but it’s an acceptable term to describe the posterior of dogs with well rounded rear assemblies, the result of thigh muscles are firm and prominent and have a rounded look like (wait for it) – an apple! The Basset Hound is an example.   For some strange reason, we couldn’t find a photograph of this to illustrate the term. People just aren’t taking pictures of their dogs’ rear ends like they used to.
