Completely lacking in type. ha ha ha....... or, to use a phrase my
British friends use "mutton dressed up as lamb."
And someone said it must gait like a German Shepherd. If by
that statement they mean have great reach and drive and a period
of suspension, lots of breeds can do that...and not all Shepherds do it
well (or even properly). Doing the desired gait well just makes it a GOOD
Shepherd.
