Since I have finished dogs in both rings..I am speaking from experience.
Just for clarification...two wrongs don't make a right..dragging toes and
dead tails are just as faulty in my eyes as weak backs, straight pasterns,
improper shoulders and a lack of PROPER rear angulation.. Rewarding  dogs
that lack the motion that is unique to our breed because of insufficiencies
is as incorrect as rewarding dragging toes, over angulation. Neither can be
correct when viewed from the side. If movement is not important..then
perhaps when need to just photograph our dogs..place the pictures on a
table and ask the judge to pick the prettiest dog with the most shapely
outline and that has the reddest pigment from a picture. To me..many(but
not all) all-rounders don't appreciate side gait..and why would they? How
many other breeds place as much emphasis on sidegait and go into the depth
of describing sidegait as our breed standard does? Most other breeds are in
fact simply judged on coming and going, standing and overall appearance and
presentation.C.Grainger
