I came across this picture on the 'nets and since I have a friend whose husband is German I asked him to translate it for me. He's not sure of the monetary values so take that lightly. As most of us are aware, the KNPV is still still a thing. Anyway, fun stuff !

Horse Galloping foot-fall in order on this video Suspension, back right, back left, front right, front left Greyhound galloping foot-fall in order on this video back right, back left, suspension, front right, front left, suspension - so we see the famous double suspension as well as...

Yup - that's why I thought it would help @BGpa if he could do that, I think it would make it easier to see it in horses. I use to watch videos of musical dressage at highest levels and they would choreograph the movements to music. The trotting, extended trotting, canter and changing leads all...

I agreed with your post, but still not 100% agreeing with this statement. The fastest racehorses in the world are now filmed and can be played in slo-mo and I have yet to see a double suspension. The paintings of race horses in the 1800's were shown mostly in double suspension but when...

Can you skip? As you go along, skipping down your beach, you can do it "leading" with either the right or left leg. Try that the next time you go out to walk your dog. And give us your feedback on it. You are basically cantering with 2 legs instead of 4 and can do lead changes every few strides...

I think 3 of them for sure were listed as heart related deaths. I'd have to go back to Dobequest to verify if it was more than 3. I'm glad you verified that they appear to be correct in the shoulder angles. And I definitely agree on horses - if they are too straight it's definitely a red flag...

I'm not especially good at seeing perfect angles on dogs, especially when not stacked the same or the photo angle is not the same. I'll drop this here so we can comment on dogs that aren't current - most every dog in this country has one or more of these dogs in its pedigree.

I'm a one-dog kinda person, so won't be looking for hopefully several more years! This made me LOL. I walk to the barn to feed the chickens and Asha takes herself on half a dozen Fast Cat runs around the 7 fenced acres. But yes, I'm thinking of the future just because that's what we do. On...

I thought this was an interesting bit of information, considering the concentration on fronts and layback of scapula that I'm seeing in confo conversations. It makes total sense to me, structure-wise, and yet another bid for that last sentence "extremes are never our friend".

That's how I feel... not even sure I'll ever get a puppy again, leaning toward young adult. Or a cat. :rofl:

RR world, here we come! ❤️

Who said Asha doesn't like strangers. She just jumped up and joined the bench with this nice gal.

Volkan must be quite the boy to ease into comfort in a new-to-him place! And what could be more fun for you than a couch full of Dobermans!?

It's great fun - thanks for stringing us along with the excitement!
