Sandra - I think you hit the nail on the head. The long strided dogs are just
not winning anymore. Even as they float around the ring they just don't look
"right" compared to the quick steppers that make up the majority of dogs. As
it pertains to bitches, part of the reason that we have so many quick steppers
might be size. With the big effort to downsize I think it's harder to get the
floating sidegait. Of course I loved the Grand Victrix, I'm sure she wasn't
large (hard to see from far away), and I don't recall that she was a quick
stepper so what do I know.
Is it true the that some of the critiques had 23 inch bitches marked as
large? Anyone?

Thanks Joan
IMO I think that this is a really big problem. In talking to some people
(even judges)
many really like that incorrect, fast, flashy movement. I have also
heard many people
critize the proper ground covering, elastic & easy moving gait as not being
"exciting" enough. Again, IMO, when I get to see this correct
movement as
described in
our standard, I get goosebumps!!
