I love to see fluid, effortless movement that covers the ground well and efficiently. I also like clean coming and going movement.
I recently started videotaping puppies and some of my adult dogs. This way I can watch them over and over on my tv. It really is an eye opener. Sometimes you suddenly and clearly see things you never saw before, both good and bad. I have one 3 month old puppy who I had thought was quite nice and moved well, but after videotaping I realized he was one of the nicest moving puppies I've ever had--nice clean coming and going movement and exceptional side movement. VERY fluid, perfect topline, exceptional reach and drive for a puppy, really good attitude and body carriage--he also self-stacked unusually well. I couldn't get over how I had missed that watching him day after day. I videotaped 5 puppies and dogs in all. The one looked exceptional, 1 other looked better than I had previously thought, the others didn't look quite as good as I had hoped, but still looked very nice. Quite a learning experience.
