What is even more amazing is that the crowd often applauds wildly at a lifty front, as though they don't care or perhaps know about correct, balanced movement , only flashy movement. Correct foot timing is not flashy but it is a thing of beauty to see, and when you do see it, you will never again accept less. It will be interesting to see how some of the "lifters" are received this year. Of course as with all things there are degrees, but when the dog is waving at the crowd, and the crowd still applauds it...I have to wonder if those people have ever seen a TRULY correct moving animal?
