Please show me your WL gaiting! - Page 10

I saw at least five dogs moving in a straight line and trotting full out. My dog, Erik is suspended, all fours off the ground in both pictures.....taken at different places,so pretty sure he was in a full flying trot.. The hind leg extension is a clue to me that a dog is in a flying trot.
BTW, when I take my dogs for a run with the four wheeler, they usually trot in front of me...I clock them a couple of them at twenty miles per hour.....at a trot. Normally they cruse at an easy fifteen MPH.

The black dog isn't pacing. His legs are on opposite sides. I saw no pacing dogs in the photos.

15 and 20 mph is a darned good speed for any dog to trot/gait/move/whatever. They have to be sound and good shape to do that.

I hope we get to see more movement photos of workinglines.

No, Blitzen, I only found one pic showing a pace, nothing else.

We could argue about the different qualities of the dogs gaiting ( frontreach, withers, backline...) but most of the pics are quick shots of happy playing dogs, so this wouldn´t make much sense at this point, but they are trotting, not pacing.

By the way, I would love to see an AKC style show one day.

According to your show experience - as long as the dog didn´t show fear, but only disobedience, the judge may either repeat the off leash round or, if the dog left the ring at a late point, just overlook it.
In case there are other dogs of the same quality and the leading dog didn´t show the off leash part at all, the judge should have changed leadership.
 

I don't have photos of working dogs, sorry i had to use SL's for this example.

Pacing - -  pretend a string is tied to the front and hind leg one the same side of the dog.

the front and rear leg on the same side of the dog are working in unison.

gaiting - pretend a string is tied from left front leg to right hind leg.

gaiting and trotting - cross legs (right front/hind left and left front/right hind) are working in unison.

an example of the same dog trotting and gaiting - hope this helps other to understand.
natural trot


gaiting


I hope this gives a better idea...
Again sorry I don't pics of the same wl dog doing both trotting and gaiting.

That's not a "flying trot". It looks painful and not very ground covering. I think those "show collar" things put pressure over the shoulder, preventing the dog from extending or " opening" the shoulder. That's my opinion but I know it's not going to change the way things are done.

Sitasmom, those dogs are walking, but close enough.

What breed has a rolling/ambling gait and is allowed to pace when exhibited?

Here, a sled dog pacing :) They have all the gaits up if you search them.

the flying trot is ususly only seen during the unleashed portion of the show.
when the owner and dog take a lap or two at full speed.
i don't have any photos of this.
