I love pix of these dogs in motion. To me there is something almost poetic about it. But beyond its beauty, soundness is critical to health and happiness because without the ability to move freely and correctly a dog cannot live pain free throughout his lifetime. Irregardless of a championship title, excellent health clearances or any other factor, the proof of conformation is MOTION and for us, this is without question the most important test of all. A sound, well built dog is a dog built to last a lifetime. Anything less, is simply unacceptable!
