Pacing gait
Ricky asked what a pacing gait was. It is when the dog moves the front and rear leg on the same side of the body at the same time. Here is a youtube video of a dog with a pacing gait. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=af6QV0Rt1os A trot is what you see most dogs doing in the conformation ring. Hope that helps.

Lol, Patriot has paced like that sense he was like 11 months old!
I think it looks really silly, but he has to be going really fast to trot like a normal dog. I think it is just because he is so big!
Thanks, Diana! Wonder if I pace too? Mom's gonna start watching me I'm sure.
Myomere of my dogs paces also, she moves like a pacing harness horse with her back legs swinging to the side slightly.
