Gait
The American Eskimo Dog shall trot, not pace. The gait is agile, bold,
well balanced, and frictionless, with good forequarter reach and good
hindquarter drive. As speed increases, the American Eskimo Dog will single
track with the legs converging toward the center line of gravity while the
back remains firm, strong, and level. |
