Ann -
The main reason there is no suspension or reach and drive is because the
dog is pacing. He's moving too slow, his legs are too long and his back is
too short and he doesn't have enough speed to be able to get his legs up
underneath him to move properly.
I found this piece of information if you have a question about what pacing
is.
> First of all, pacing is very normal for any short bodied FCI/SV GSD of
correct length, especially when held on a tight lead at low speeds. When
the spped of movement increases that GSD will shift into a gait. Pacing is
defined as when the legs on one side of the dog's body move in the same
direction in parallel fashion and gaiting is when the move in opposite
directions. A GSD that is too long in loin or back typically will never
pace.<
