Dingo v. Haus Gero video - Page 2

this is probably as close as any GSD dog will ever come to "text" book gait. as far as understanding it, my suggestion is watch it in parts.

first, concentrate on the shoulder opening. watch this at the elbow and watch it until you can see the extension and the shoulder open.

then watch the rear, see how he reaches up under himself. this is where the power in his gait begins. then note how he ends this rear sweep with a perfect extension of the rear. add to that the topline and near lack of motion from the croup through the back and it's near perfection.

sorry, didn't mean to get carried away, but this video gives me warm fuzzies every time I see it. I promise I didn't touch myself.

I have a video of Fanto v Hirschel that does the same thing for me. In one part he is along a bike path with the handler running full tilt and Fanto off leash covering some awesome ground....then there is one of his victories in the Seiger Show in which he is in like third place in the fast gait and he passes the other two dogs ahead of him like they are standing still and he never breaks stride. Awesome!!

Gustav, good to see you post.

on a more mordern note, I thought this dog was one of the best gaiters I saw in germany in 2008.

Gustav-is there anywhere that others can see the Fanto video? My girl is linebred on Fanto & I've always wanted to see him in motion!

I've seen this Dingo video about a dozen times & I had to watch again as well, very beautiful study of motion, both the dog & the video are just wonderful! I get goosebumps...jackie harris

Dingo Haus Gero was truly my introduction to GSDs back in 1983.Today we have dogs of superb construction but they do not move like Dingo.His movement was partly his desire to move and partly theright training.In a stance you could even walk past him but on the move this dog would get your goose pimples out.He was a welcome change from Natan Pelztierfarm who was a great dissappointment as a producer.Only problem for Dingo was he was out done as a producer by the next Sieger Uran Wildsteigerland(1984,1985).

ooohhhh, thank you so much for sharing that video.  there have been a number of threads on this board about dingo and he seems to be one dog that everyone can agree on.  ;)  one of my own personal favorites.  we've had several dogs with his blood; one that was linebred on him.  it's good to see his name come up again - even after all these years.

Charity....
You can see a picture of Drago here on the PDB.
Look under:  Drago von Huerta Hof.
He was the most impressive dog that I have owned.....100% GSD in temperament and form.  We have a daughter out of him, and she is very close to her father in character....I only wish that we had used him more for stud, and held back a male.
We also have a Fanto Hirschel granddaughter....luckily we are fortunate to keep back a daughter form her.....older bloodlines (still being within the first 4 generations)...are almost extinct now.....it makes me realize just how old some of my dogs are.....God bless them!

As mysteriously as the Dingo video was  transferred from PAL format to VHS, a VHS copy appeared in my library.  Somehow, this copy will transport itself to Costco for conversion to DVD, mysteriously, of course.

Forgot to say that I checked out Rik's link on Arex Herbramer-Wald.
Fanto is in the sire's line and lo and behold who ahould appear on the Dam's side??????    Yup.  Dingo.  He's back aways but he's there.

Arex is pretty good looking guy in his own right.
