In this video clip, this baby puppy (20 weeks old) shows good synchronicity, and head
carriage. He lacks strength and coordination at this stage of development to lift his front
out of the way of
his on coming rear feet. Note how the hind feet overstep and make
ground contact both sides of the fore feet. I will post a further video of this pup in twelve
months to illustrate how this breed is slow to mature. All puppies require lots of natural
free running and the opportunity to develop their inherent gaiting skill base.
