The Lhasa Apso - Moving

This dog is a three year old male Champion retired from the showring. Notice that on a loose lead he holds his neck at approximately 45 degrees to the horizontal, and has equal reach and drive fore and aft. He has no wasted motion in the rear, recovering the rear foot, without excess "kick up", immediately after full extension on the ground. Also note the lack of vertical "bounce" of the topline and hindquarter. THIS is balanced, efficient movement in a Lhasa Apso.  Discussion
