Thank You MG, great topic.
I think the term wobbly refers to the looseness in the hock due to
inappropriate length (too long) and bad ligamentation, Could this be one of
the
many definitions of "dirty going away"?
Watch closely and you will notice this is not a problem with those dogs
with strong hindquarters, good fold of stifold, small hocks and good
ligamentation. They tend to have a light spring in their movement that
propels
them slightly up and then forward, with no wasted motion.
If present, the woobly-ing is more noticeable when you watch a dog at a
walk and of course as the dog speeds up in movement it tends to disappear.
Many handlers have learned that by holding a dog up, the downward pressure
the animal has to put helps them use the rear better, but when you watch
these dogs moving on a lose lead, or walking, it is a different story.
Does anyone look for singletracking?
