Very true, but the judging of structure should be in conjunction with
thinking about what this breed is bred to do...herd.

Absolutely ... And I didn't intend to suggest anything different. The
question has been raised in the past about whether or not the GSD needs a
higher
speed to herd, and that was the reason for my comment. My hope was actually to
avoid revisiting that discussion <G>. I believe that whether or not that
faster speed is used with any regularity, it is still necessary to demonstrate
how
well all of the dog's parts work together. I hope no one mistakes this
observation for a request to see the dogs race. Seeing if the dogs can move
correctly when opened up to their fullest extension is merely a tool to judge
their
structure and how well that structure works. Some dogs will exhibit faults at
a faster speed that do not show at the slower pace.
