Disagree... angles and conformation are very important in correct movement.
Example: Saddlebred or Tennessee Walker can move with great style and
movement but angles and conformation incorrect. Long down pastern,
hocks touching ground is not correct but most of the time places with
the judge for they are showing style and movement. Then add a straight
shoulder with neck placement incorrect.
Great site explaining...

Now for the test... A couple years ago, I was
sitting ringside with a very well known judge. We were discussing
conformation, specifically angulation and movement. The
judge told me that he rarely studies the angles/conformation of the dogs
he's judging; he only considers the dog's movement. In other
words, if the dog moves correctly, he must be built correctly.
Agree or disagree? Please discuss.
