German Pinscher Standard
Gait
Strong, free, well

-balanced gait, with good reach in front and strong drive behind. At the trot the back remains firm and level, without swaying, rolling, or roaching. When viewed from the rear, the feet, though they may appear to travel close, must not cross or strike each other. Fault- hackney gait.

Elegance in the German Pinscher gait is imperative for typical German Pinscher movement.
The German Pinscher's feet travel in two distinct paths -- they do not converge.
Rotary movement in the rear is not typical German Pinscher movement and should be severely faulted.
Reach and drive in German Pinscher movement should be equal to one another (see above). Overdrive in the German Pinscher rear is not typical and should be severely faulted.
The foregoing description is that of the ideal German Pinscher. Any deviation from this is to be penalized to the extent of the deviation.
