Hi, Jackie,
Andy is a SUPER mover. I had a wonderful time watching him and Taffe
when they showed out our way. However, I wouldn't say that he held his
head "proud"; rather I would say that he moved like a hunter would with
head held just above level when exhibiting considerable reach and drive,
bringing his hindquarters under him well. Considering Taffe dosen't run
with him, he moved beautifully forward at his own natural pace.
Yes, I very much agree on that as an example of good movement.
However, I'm still thinking the description of "head held proud" is not
what the author meant.........
