Droop forms?

Could someone explain the difference between a droop form and semi-upright. They look similar in the catalogue's. Thanks

Joe, whose catalog?

A good rule of thumb (thumbs) is
Alert - Head well above the shoulder line
SemiAlert - Head at the shoulder line
Semi Sneak - Top of head slightly above shoulder-Chin below the shoulder line
Sneak - Top of Head even with shoulder line or slightly below
Full Sneak or Droop - Head below shoulder line, chin at or below the brisket line.

There are some specialty forms that carry these lines to drinking poses or feeding poses, but those are usually the standard terms.
