Thought I'd post some pics of a couple of my dogs gaiting. I only have pics of two of my dogs gaiting. First two pics are of Nadia, she's chasing a neighborhood kid whose riding his dirtbike up and down the street....gawd that dirtbike drove her nuts. Sorry about the poor picture quality. They don't do justice to how excellent Nadia is at gaiting, she is an extremely FAST gaiter too, much faster than Urman (whose pics are further down this post) she can gait faster than many dogs can run.

Below are all pics of Urman gaiting on his 2 yr old birthday (he's now 8+ yrs) He's got a flashy "look at me" charisma when he is gaiting. You can see in some of the pics that he has all 4 paws off the ground in true "flying trot" style.

dogshome9, what is being evaluated in those pictures? I've never been able to tell with the German style photos. I want to see full extension front and rear, but that's not what you get in the German style photos.

Xeph they were taken during the walking stage of asessment and showing her excellent drive from the rear (especially as she matured), her good reach where her upper arm is of good length but slightly steep also showing her wither remains high during movement.

Here are 2 more photos taken on the same day where she was at a faster gait, both are showing her very good extension both fore and hind.

These I had to resize in order to add here.

The second photos are very nice. The first photos don't show any reach at all, nor drive off the rear (IMO). But it's not what I'm used to looking at.
