I believe that is supposed to be when standing--not moving. I'm watching my Dog Steps right now. Rachel Page Elliott says there is a natural tendency to converge in all dogs. It is essential to do so as the center of gravity changes as the speed increases. Dogs who do not converge will have excess movement from side to side--and not be as efficient in movement. During showing movement of a Terrier she specifically says parallel movement is incorrect.
