<Side gait will live on forever, I personally think we need to stop worrying

about side gait so much, and focus more on type, and how clean a dog is
coming 
and going.  I will happily sacrifice a bit of side gait for a dog that is 
cleaner in front and/or rear, because in the end, (s)he can still be a great

mover.  If (s)he's not moving cleanly at all angles, (s)he's not a good
mover.>

Cyndi opines....

When I was a provisional judge, I had the opportunity to observe under the
highly respected judge, Mr. Ralph Roberts.  I asked him which he thought was
more important...coming or going.  He replied....neither....Coming is just
as important as going, and all three (coming, going, and sidegait) should be
judged as a total picture.  

As breeders we hold ourselves to a higher standard than the average Joe down
the street.  The total dog...TYPE, TEMPERAMENT, AND MOVEMENT
(coming/going/sidegait) should always be the goal we strive for.
