I have argued this many times that the (properly) gaiting dog does not gait with its head held high ______________________________________________________________________________ And so have I. Gaiting with the head held high is incorrect. But heard a judge say, when they do that, they're asking for the win. I remember the show. Ever since then, people started to want their dogs to gait around with the head up there. It may look good, but it is totally incorrect.
