Runs Slightly Sideways NEW
by: Carol

Straight from the "Coton Show" guidelines:

Legs and Feet:
Free, balanced, effortless. Good reach in the forequarters and good drive in the hindquarters. Slight lateral roll at low speed. Legs move straight fore and aft along the line of travel; as speed increases, there is a slight convergence of legs toward the center line.

But I've noticed my dog runs slightly sideways at times too!!! Maybe not show quality - but I love him dearly!
