Julie,
This dog is the German Seiger, I forget exactly what year, but it's way
back in the early 80's and was made before the Germans bred what became
known as the "carp back". This was the era either preceding Walter Martin
or before Walter became so very influential in developing another style of
German dog. Some of the Dogs and Bitches in German of that era could well
have been shown in this country and won handily. An educational tape was
produced by Germany which includes this Seiger gaiting as an example of
powerful, correct gait. Some critics faulted this dog for "over reach" in
the rear drive & some "kick up:". This tape shows this same dog with the
skeleton in motion, an extraordinary film The fore assembly on this dog is
just outstanding. One can see that the front foot is so close and low to
the ground that the grass is touched as the front leg follows through.
There is absolutely NO LIFTING WHATSOEVER. And one can see that the front
leg is straight out in a line from the shoulder so there is lots of daylight
between the elbow & the body. Too many of the pictures we see show a
front leg with the elbow "tucked" in next to the body and the leg thrown up
and out off the ground. The tape is all in German and I was fortunate to
have an all breed friend from Germany translate it for me. I have used this
tape in education programs. Pat Trotter also uses this tape in her well
known educational program on structure and movement. The tape has the
skeleton there with an arrow pointing to different parts of the dog's body
with an explanation of why and how those parts contribute to the gait of the
dog. It is a treasure. At one educational meeting there was a complaint
because a German dog was used
