Default Trotting or Pacing?

Hiya all

I've noticed recently that Hex paces a lot, he doesn't trot properly.
Pace = the front and back leg on the same side move forward at the same time.
Trot = front leg on one side and back leg on opposite side move forward.

Now I was always told that GSDs are "trotting " dogs, they can go all day. Both mine seem to pace more especially when they are lazy. Is that normal?


Cheers
