Wobbler research study from DPCA

Gait is how the dog moves. It doesn’t look like it mentions if they want the dog to be walking or trotting. If you submit, maybe film both just incase.
I was guessing they meant trotting/gaiting like you do in the ring but maybe they do mean both?
Thanks. Since I'm kind of a noob I'm asking typical noob questions for the benefit of others who moght be lurking here but too shy to ask. But willing to go to the stufy and offer to play.
Since this is sponsored by DPCA I'd assume it comes from a show perspective, and its assumed one with experience in show would know. And explain a little further:
dpca.org
Is there a typical format, how to take the video?
"something from the side, from the rear, at which kinds of gaits?"
Like what the judges manual might define?
I notice they are requesting purebred submissions but ok if no pedigree.
So just for the heck of it, I'd consider a submission IF results were shared back with donors in an expeditious manner.
I'm guessing there would be a LOT of show dog owners and breeders offering up the samples and video, so I'll defer to that but wait for awhile, see if a call for more is posted.
I did share Embark DNA both to Cornell automatically as per TOS on that tools collaboration,
And later sent raw data to U Utrecht for their request on data on dobes copper studies underway, per a suggestion on the DDP.
Have not heard back on U of MN request for their call for input to their multiple ??? survey, iirc to be a 4000 dobe longitudinal study over ten years, but not expecting to- I think they want dogs that can be tied to pedigrees, which makes sense.
I'm a dog nerd, and if I'm going to expect "the fancy" to step up, as DPCA is here, for the benefit of the breed, then I ought to do my little part, from the peanut gallery...

In this case it is for health reasons so it doesn't have to be show lines. They're more looking to do research on what is causing Wobblers and the underlying cause.

The link to the study provides a video in the format and criteria they need.
Thanks! Missed that, d'oh!
Very helpful! Basically a wallk at heel to and fro, from behind,
and again filmed from the side. Easy!
There is a pre-screening form to complete as well, once you dig further.

Ok, who else is in?
PS: for other noobs or lurkers-
here is why this matters:
"The cause of Wobbler´s Syndrome is still unknown. Genetics, conformation of the neck, nutrition, injury- all have been theorized to play a part. Neck x-rays prior to breeding have been suggested, but since the malformation and malarticulation in an unsymptomatic dog can very subtle, they can be very difficult to interpret. Preventative breeding can be frustrating as most dogs do not show symptoms until they are past their prime breeding age. The best we can do at this point in time is to be aware of Wobbler´s in our pedigrees, and breed responsibly."
