What a wonderful way to put it Kathy. Herding dogs make up many different
breeds. It can be argued that the GSD is not the best breed for herding...yet
no other breed moves quite like it or gobbles up as much ground in one stride.
Is the flying sidegait necessary for herding or is it just something that we
enjoy watching in the show ring so much so that we've confused what is for
function and what is just for entertainment.
If my dog is so ugly that it burns my eyes to look at it...it's not going to be
around very long. I don't care how great of a sidegait it has.....though I
suppose I could put a bag over it's head...cut little eye holes out....a
another hole for the nose.....hmmmmm.

It puts more emphisis on gait, meaning that a dog should be able to trot all
day long, making turns fluidly and not tiring.
There are a lot of working dogs and field dogs that can trot all day. There
is a really neat springer being shown that is either one or two that fits
that description. Without "breed type" you don't have a dog specific to a
particular breed.
