Jim,
I don't know what dogs you have in your part of the country, but all I have
to do is look in our yard, home and
kennel and see the long correct sweeping gaits that Liz refers to.  It is
alive and well here.
It is what we breed for, it is what we demand.
.   Now the RACING that goes on in some shows, which was
totally out of control at the Nationals in ALL classes...that is
ridiculous.  GSDs  don't work
at warp speed, but so many judges allow them to be shown this way.  It gives
the illusion
that the quick footed dogs are correct, because going fast covers a world of
faults of gait.
Very warmest regards
Kathy Tank
