The GSD gait is not mean to be a Hell Bent all out foot race...it is meant
to do steady, even work, of tending, service,
etc. It should look effortless at any speed. Speed fools...exciting, not
really. CORRECT is EXCITING. Correct
is exciting at a walk through a trot and beyond.
We hear judges say each year that they want slow and loose, yet when it
comes down to it, it is almost always a
horse race...he who is fastest, wins. Why????
Any dog can look good going fast...try slowing them down and see who comes
apart.
If a dog truly needs to go all out, they won't do it at a trot...they will
gallop.
Slower, moderate, easy pace..brings out the weaknesses and the strengths.
JMHO
