And this year's GVX handler was a great example of "underreach" as with his
bum left leg and extra 20lbs it is a wonder that his GVX was able to
"overreach" <G>.
Showed the Bob Lindsay video to my family on Thanksgiving, there was hilarious
laughter as some of the comments were:
" Dad you gotta lose weight"
"Dad why is everyone else dressed nicely and you not"
"Babe(my wife), you should really buy a jacket that isn't so small"
" Really you're not that fat, but it must have been the camera"
You get my drift. So i'm going to have my knee operation next week and after
that no food for 4 weeks(yeah right).

I thought the discussion on "over-reaching" had to do with the driving
under of the rear "over-reaching" the rear follow-through of the front on
its rearward completion. If we propose that the smooth transition of power
is acheived by each of the leg assemblies, front and rear, achieving the
maximum thrust from the length of the pendullum swing, then there is no
such thing as to extreme in "over-reaching." - Although I admit we may be
discussing different things and I am only missing the point one more time!
<G>
There is a loss of efficiency when the rear does not contact the ground on
the rearward motion and kicks up into the air. Follow-through is one
thing, wasted motion is another. The same with the front that reaches its
forward extension at a point above the ground and has to bring that foot
down to contact the ground (wasted motion - usually from a shoulder that
does not open completely) (Lifty).
I personally do not like the term "extreme" very well in that it is too
often used to express what is proper transmission of power, and thus to
justify that which is 'less than' to the standard. But all of that is the
subjective use of the term. What is not subjective is any wasted motion or
lack of the proper extension of both front and rear appendages.
I thought this years GV & GVX were exceptional examples of proper motion
in which the rear extended under the dog past the footprint of the front
(over-step) or (over-reaching).
I only hope that my opinion on this is what the standard calls for. If not
than my opinion is changable - the standard is not! <G>
