I remember seeing a dog in specials at the National a few years ago.
Before
they went in the ring, I thought he was the most correct beautiful dog I
had
ever seen. After watching him gait; however, I saw that he pounded the
ground in front. That incident taught me that even though my eyes said
that dog
was correct; his movement told me otherwise. He was so pretty that he went
Select that day....Being a pretty Select still didn't make him correct but
it
did make him a popular stud dog.
I have one criteria for picking puppies from a litter.... movement.... I'll
take a chance that the "ugly" puppy who can move will grow up to become
"pretty" ;because I know that the pretty puppy who can't move will not grow
up to
be a mover. Because no matter what my eyes tell me when he/she is
standing...movement doesn't lie.....he/she must BE correct to move
correctly. And it
doesn't matter how pretty a dog is: if he doesn't move correctly he isn't
correct.
