Are you saying that every dog that has a GREAT sidegait is a long legged, emaciated, pin headed soft sared (scared?) dog??? You sure don't go to the same shows as I do!!!!! > > Sandy You need to go back and read Chuck's statements again where he qualifies the description with "(and many of you present your dogs in this condition)"...I've been in the breed for 35 years...I've had Specialty winners and I've had Group winners, and I have to agree with Chuck---"many...present your dogs in this condition" at all breeds as well as specialties, but the all breed judges just don't put up with it as often as breeder judges who judge more on side gait...
