Thanks for the explanation. I see ads in the review and on websites and it
appears that this is being bragged about. It just seemed like wasted motion
to me. Sure the dog is fully extended in the gait, but that rear foot is
straight out and up as high (almost, exaggerating here) as the dogs hips.
Definitely not locked hocks.

their rear foott up high to the rear, so high that it looks as if it's wasted
motion. The leg is straight, and if wasn't so high, it would look correct.
Am I wrong in thinking that?
