So what do you think a good mover looks like--or rather, what is it about some of these dogs that you see that says *not a good mover*? I can't help but wonder how anyone who has been breeding for more than 10 years could not know what good movement looks like and so I'm wondering if movement is more subjective than some of us think--maybe not as subjective as type, but still somewhat subjective. Or is there truly a right and wrong way to move? Since no dog moves perfectly, what is most important and least important in movement--what are you willing to give up first, second, etc.? How about a dog that moves with it's head up--is that correct or not? Can a REALLY good moving dog look flashy or is the movement so efficient they don't look flashy? This could be a very good discussion!
