Keep dreaming. I tried to explain to some Corgi exhibitors one time that good movement meant more than going fast...and specifically mentioned that in order to claim good movement the hock had to go beyond the vertical..........they complained for the rest of that 4 day circuit. I love it when judges talk about a dog's wonderful movement ..... and it's NOT. If the judges don't know, why expect the exhibitors to know?
