While this may be true, I've often wondered if there is a genetic component to
pacing. In 40+ years of owning GSD's, I've only had one American dog pace.
(He only paced when tired.) EVERY German dog I've owned has paced at times.
Not a one of these German dogs have/had the structure described above. One
German we have right now is actually a little stretched and he paces
occassionally.
BTW, I think that video is nothing more than negative propaganda. Granted the
dogs didn't appear to be of the best quality, but the video was not designed to
showcase the movement of the German Shepherd Dog.

In a typical world, pacing is USUALLY related to dogs with short backs and long
legs or dogs with too much rear, not enough shoulder and too short of back.
There are certainly other reasons for a dog to pace - it is a comfortable gait
for a dog who has some issue in his stride that keeps him for trotting or
walking normally.
Watch any normal shaped breed and you will see the trend in pacing - it goes
with a typical structural look.
