The entire tape is of considerable length and certain parts could have been excruded from the tape for presentations. Actually the dog is gaiting next to a railroad track and the photographers are riding on one of those carts that are used by workmen. The cart is moved manually by a gear that moves up and down, maybe it was automated at the time, I don't know. That part of the tape in slow motion makes one's hair stand on end. In one part, at the beginning, a Shepherd is filmed going up and over high wooden walls, as the dog comes up & over the film is put in slow motion and as the dog hits the ground a remarkable technique is used that shows the tremendous impact the pasterns & the feet take, the point is the importance of tight feet and strong pasterns in the overall performance of a working dog. This film covers every inch of the dog showing how each and every part of the dog plays a critical role - it is about the TOTAL DOG.
