Honestly, I'm amazed some of the dogs with such horrible rears can gait at all...but it "looks pretty" in the trot, so why should the walk matter...dogs never walk after all. -- Jackie Marcato Shepherds You know, if they have a bad rear at a walk, I've noticed it's still there at a trot, if there is any doubt, there is always the down and back. In fact, I believe that is so you get a complete picture, the sides, and the front and the rear. Ann Gray **************Make your summer sizzle with fast and easy recipes for the grill.
