My guess is that none of them can have a "wonderful" sidegait, but the one who can't get his feet out of the way fast enough would get my vote. Floppy "years" and all :-). Bad backs and roached backs can't possible have a "wonderful" gait, how could they? I NEVER get into structure and gait, etc., but I really don't like bad backs, up or down. stormy In a message dated 11/19/08 5:25:59 PM, zanebgsd@xxxxxxxxx writes: > All of the dogs were the same size,color type,and had wonderful sidegaits.. > Here are the faults of the dogs: Dog #1 has a roached back, Dog #2 has > dragging toes and floppy years, Dog #3 has a bad back. > "You may never know what results come from your action.
