The most used trot is and easy trot. "Easy" implies effortless, and of
course that would be the most efficient. There is nothing below an easy
trot
though, except for walking, or dogs incorrectly structured in order to
obtain a
slower than "easy" trot.
I do agree with Tom, but I often ask for the dog to trot, the handler to
walk. A correct moving dog can float at a slow speed, and often when I have had
a great mover, I can stand still let him or her out on the lead and let them
float around me. You can see a great deal of suspension at a slow speed. The
true correct movers will do so at all speeds.
Most of our dogs have their own speed, and look best at that speed. The job
of a handler is to know what that speed is, and try to make sure the judge
sees the dog at the right time. A great one, (dog that is) will look good at
all
speeds.
I have seen dogs that never take a bad step. They are almost always
something I have bred.
