I love sidegait but if it isn't pretty and sound mentally and physically, I don't want it in my backyard or in my breeding program. I'm sure many people already agreed with this but I say you nailed it. I love a nice moving dog. It takes my breath away. However, I also want to see type and temperament in that package. It is the whole dog that counts that makes me want to watch and OWN that dog. If I were a Judge, I want to see the total package. If no dog presented that to me, I would have to go with a typey dog with decent movement. I don't like the lifters or the racers. Show me a good, solid dog who has that nice, easy, beautiful gait and that is my dog.
