Most of the spitz breeds DO seem to prance a bit. The Samoyed is even *supposed* to prance...it's right in the breed standard that they have a prancing gait.
My Aussies had no-nonsense wolf-lopes...they could keep up a smart flying trot for miles and miles. Kiba is so beautiful in motion though...I swear his gait is perfect. His paw prints are perfectly aligned (back paw ends up in the front paw print every time)and on the beach I've paced off a 12 foot gap between prints when he runs all-out...his reach is amazing. I need to make a movie of him racing around because he coils & uncoils his back like a cheetah.
Pit bulls certainly are like solid little tanks...they're so sturdy. It's a damn shame the breed is being so badly misused & twisted by amateur breeders with bad motives, because there's a lot of good in those dogs.
