Or do they ignore the fact that they are pacing and just simply look at the overall comformation of the dog? I just yell, "He's pacing" and let the handler deal with it. Why would anyone fault it? It isn't the dog's fault. I don't agree with everything being said about the pace. Every dog can pace. Only the correct ones will show the flying trot. The correct ones will pace as well. Evan L.
