HI Fran, I can you are determined to get me in trouble, so be it! I can only 
speak for myself. I do believe that a GSD can move correctly at faster speeds. 
I 
do not believe a GSD can herd sheep or cattle all day long at those speeds. I 
do 
believe there are a " few " judges that can judge a correct moving GSD at high 
speed. Unfortunately, there are many that can't. Yes a good handler can hide 
many structural and incorrect movement in a high speed GSD under what some see 
as performance. Bob Freeny

Thank you, Bob, for responding.  

But, you didn't address the question below, and I'd really appreciate knowing 
what you think.

Can a judge determine correct movement without having the dogs racing at 
break-neck speed? Doesn't excessive speed allow a handler to mask faults?


I have no agenda, and your answer remains with me. Isn't it sad we have to say 
things like that?


Thanks for talking to me.
