Yoker and Ghandi gaiting together - Page 1

I DO see the difference, but on the other hand some things to be considered... 1) The handler has lots to do w/ the dogs performance during this gaiting. If you notice, Yokers leash is loose and Ghandi's is tight. This tightness would make him pull, which would cause the arch in his back. The tail on both dogs appear to be the same. Each dog is going to be slightly different, we humans are not built the same, neither are dogs. Yoker's reach appears to be more apparent but this does not make Ghandi less capable of doing the job of a GSD nor does it make him an aweful specimen of our Breed. 2) Also, the age of each dog makes a difference. A younger dog would be more laxed in the bone and muscle, as a "older" dog wouldn't. 3) AND...a dog that is MORE masculin will have a difference in reach and performance look wise, but will not function poorly. But, who am I. Thought I'd add this little bit! Brandi
