George may not be around tomorrow/today as shes having a operation.
I am not sure where the footage was taken but Manchester CH show is an all breeds show.

Before I went in my first show, I spent a lot of time practising with my pup, gaiting and stacking. Looks like very few of the handlers bothered with this.
Now you can see why the American GSD people use pro handlers.

Sunsilver, this is a general all-breed champoinship show, held every year in January.
To be fair on the judge, she does make heavy criticism of hocks and movement thoughout her critique.

As David Payne seems to have been an exhibitor at this event, perhaps he could enlighten us as to which class this is.

All I can say is my Kalie is 5/8 West German Showlines & 3/8 American Showlines...& she can walk, trot, run, jump, & stand up on her back legs & walk like a human when she wants to! She is happy, healthy, playfull, & could be used to any purpose, she happens to be a companion to my husband & I. The dogs in the background don't seem to be walking like that. Do they train the dogs to crouch when they walk? It's very un-natural looking, & none of the West German Showline dogs I have met move like that when they are just hanging around at home, so I guess i wonder why anyone would want an animal to move that way....or teach them to do it, it's certainly not attractive....! Kalie will naturally stack on occassion, & she looks so beautiful when she does that, not roach at all, not overangulated, either. I can't help but think that the trainers/handlers make them look this way for shows. But what do I know? jmho jackie harris (g'night now!)
