They just make it look easy....as it should be. This is a very good observation. Often your better moving, almost lazy looking dogs, are the more correct. But if you note, they keep up with all the other dogs in the class with seemingly no effort. The dog must have correct balance rear to front AND proper suspension to perform like this. They often get missed because they are less exciting to look at. So what about the judges that fall for the exciting dog instead? Those are the ones I love to watch in slow motion frame by frame and see where that front leg hits the ground....it is usually under the front assembly, not on its reach.
