As the title says- does your dog have a jaunty walk?
Fred is especially 'jaunty' after a good download in the garden, he finishes his business, has a quick stretch, pricks up his ears and then virtually skips to the back door to be let in - totally different to his usual mooching around walk or his out and about racing through life usual style. Is he just an odd beggar or do other cockers have 'special' walks as well?
-
Toby does! When we are out he almost looks snooty as he prances around! :luv:
-
Jeff is a very "jaunty" walker - great description :005: Just watching his jaunty little trot makes me laugh all the time :luv:
-
Not as such, Odie only does the typical 'cocker bottom wiggle walk' when he's in the mood to play (which is often :lol2:) or when I've left him for ages (ie. 2-3 mins :005:). When out and about, he'll mainly have his snout to the ground snuffling around :lol2:
-
Kooki's wiggle bottom nose to floor walk has now been renamed 'wombling' as she seems to womble along in her own wee world!!
-
Max did exactly the same as Fred :005: You could always tell when he came back in that he had a weight of his mind!! He would bounce in the back door and prance around :005: Bertie is a bit of a sniffer, so trundels along, nose down. Lara has a good look around, and stops for a sniff.
-
Disney prances! It's very cute :luv:
-
When they're just walking my two sort of bounce. I love watching them walk with their sides touching, bouncing along in unison :luv:
-
Maisie's back legs seem to bounce as if she's wearing those running blade things :lol2:. Makes me chuckle every time I walk behind her.....a definite spring in her step :005:
-
Coco always makes me laugh when I walk behind her with her happy little bottom wiggle :luv: :005:
When she has pinched something she shouldn't have or is refusing to get in the car when I ask her, she has a very cocky little strut that she does with her head in the air and her bum waggling and she looks incredibly proud of herself >:( :lol2:
-
When she has pinched something she shouldn't have
Oh yes, I know that jaunty walk only too well, head back, shoulders up, "Look at me mum...I'm so proud that I've pinched the clean undies from the tumble drier...again!!" :005:

:rofl1: :rofl1:

We definitely have a jaunty walker here!
Particularly when OH gets home from work or we have a visitor. She goes straight to her toy-stash, pulls out a favourite toy and then struts around the living room with the toy in her mouth, waggling her bottom and flicking up her paws like a tiny show-pony!
-
OMG...that's what Lyla did! She would literally trot past you with something in her mouth and just in case you didn't see her, she would do several sweeps past you lol. I used to say to Mr S that she looked like a Lippizaner horse!
-

:rofl1: :rofl1:
Yes, that is exactly what Coco looks like :lol2:
-
If Bonnie Boo was a hooman she would be Marylin Monroe, she really does sashay when she walks. Bum all a wiggling :lol:

I know that walk really well...always my underwear, also he helps take it off the radiators with the same walk too.
-
Zara walks as if she has killer heels on and Lexi walks like a bunny rabbit :luv: :luv:
-
Another yes here!! We call it Ollie's 'Nancy boy walk' :005: (hope that PC) ;)

That sums Monty up to a tee!! He does the springy, look at me walk when he's pleased with whatever contraband he happens to have in his mouth!!
-
Oh yes, that's why our Molly got the nickname molly-wobbles! It doesn't help that when she's really excited to see you her little head wobbles from side to side as well, so you've got head wobbling one way, bum wobbling the other!
She also has a separate wobble for when she's nicked something that she shouldn't have...that ones called 'doing the lap of victory' in our house :005:
-
Sophie definately sashays from side to side, Emma too busy with her nose to the ground to do any kind of wiggle.
-
I've walked behind Fraser's jaunty little caboose for 2 1/2 years now and it always makes me smile at how cheerful it looks. His face is very cute too :D
-
Sometimes Alfie likes to carry a rock around on a walk and does a different style walk to his usual. We call it his Very Important Rock Walk.
-
Max has several funny walks, semi runs with a to legged bounce, another when he's coming to slow down and hops on one back leg. We've only had him since November as a rescue, and he's about 3 1/2 now. So not sure where all his habits come from.
-
Yep, Alfie has it too. It's like a victory walk as he heads to the back door after performing (almost like a show ring trot) with his tail held level to his back (flag flying high,we say). He also struts past me in similar style in the kitchen every time he takes a toy from his basket and dumps it in the hall, (without playing with it) then returns for another and another and another ...... You can always tell too when he has something that he shouldn't have, by his walk!
-
Ruby sashays and wiggles her bum! Sometimes though, she flicks up her paws and reminds me of the gestapo :005:
-
:005: Baxter sounds exactly like Alfie and the others with his very pleased with himself, 'I have a prize', trot, head held high, very proud.
He also has an excited wiggle bottom walk for coming to greet people and if you're really lucky, he'll also run round in a circle while trying to half turn on his back, showing some of his tummy and then he'll stick one of his back legs in the air and shake it all about like he's doing a sideways/upside down hokey cokey! It looks so ridiculous and is always a lovely greeting after a bad day at work! :luv:

I am amending Lylas jaunty walk to a jaunty wobble!! :005:

Should be amending it to a miraculous meander!!!
-
Only when Lola has a stick the size of a small tree in her mouth :005:
-
Cassie is very girlie and she wiggles , we say she is the Marilyn Munroe of the doggie world.
She also "sashays" when she has a stick or something she shouldn't and taunts us !
-
Eli does it too...I call it "the strut!" He is such a brat! :luv:
-
Lady does more so if she's strutting around the garden trying to find a place to bury a treat or a bone!! Her normal walk is however accompanied by an ever wagging tail!!
-
Grace has a puppet type walk like a thunder bird :005: when she has a treat or trying to find some where to bury some thing like bone sock pants :005: :005:
-
Well I have a toy in mouth bum wiggler (with a chat thrown in for good measure) and a whirling dervish. Am I the only one who has a cocker that runs in circles, but only clockwise? Honestly!!!! Big or small, circles clockwise all the time. Going for a walk, coming back, waiting for dinner, coming to bed at night........all the time.

When Jeff's not being jaunty, be canters in circles (especially on walks, when he canters in circles around me, never OH :huh:). Always ANTI-clockwise though :lol2:
-
Im not the only one then that has a cocker that when he is excited or hears someone come home, immediately goes to his toys and picks one out and then runs around with it in his mouth, wonder why they do that, does make me laugh.
-
You can always tell when Maggie has something in her mouth even if you can't see it - just from the walk, her feet lift a little higher, tail up high and wagging, chin that bit higher, like all of a sudden there's no need to sniff the floor - she has her treasure already :005: The sad thing is, when she's down the park she likes to play tuggy on the lead with me, and then will just hold on to the handle and walk beside me.... in exactly the same manner, like she's saying "look at me, I've caught meself a hooman!"
-
Yes, Peggy does with nothing in her mouth! She has a real flag of a tail, and she waves it with every step! :luv: :luv: :luv:
