Hey Guys!
On one of my email lists this video was posted and discussed, and I found very interesting. Tell me what you think!

I agree!! I thought this video was pretty impressive! Filmed in 1983 I believe? I love how this dog is not overdone in the slightest but opens up beautifully on both ends. He is SUPER functional.

Any other observations/comments??

Some people have commented on a "slight kickup" in the rear, but I would say that would be nitpicking.

Apparently this video was actually filmed on the cart of a train?

Effortless, ground covering movement. Just beautiful.

What I find interesting is if one looks at the dog, and especially the stacked photo, his structure is quite moderate and functional. Far from extreme. And it doesn't resemble the current trends followed by many in either conformation ring (where striving for such movement is supposedly the goal).

I thought this was interesting . . .

Check out the structural similarities between Dingo and another dog renowned for superb movement, Fanto vom Hirschel.

Dingo (VA1 1983)


Fanto (VA1 1990 & 1991)

I agree Chris, today they would say his backhand the (croupe) should be a bit longer.
You would not find him at the front of the lineup at a Sieger Show now.

Deejay has a very similar top-line, I believe the standard calls for this.
