beautifully moved.
I think I know what Jim is saying. I've never seen your bitch Sandy, so my
comment is not directed to your gal, rather the words folks used to describe
her, but there is "floating" and there is "driving". If I'm interpreting
Jim's post correctly, he's missing the "driving".
I've had both. "Floating" is very, very pretty. "Driving" is powerful, IMO
correct, and, sadly IME sometimes overlooked in favor of "pretty". Driving
is rather easy to spot. A dog will drop their head and their center of
gravity will move forward as the energy expends from the rear. (A floaty-type
mover can/will go without really dropping their head and getting into it.)
Horse people will visualize what I'm trying to describe <G>.
