I guess you'd call it double tracking. Moving at a trot but the feet do not converge onto a single line; rather they move parallel to each other. For example, if a Cavalier had paint on its feet and moved down a painted line on a tennis court, the footprints would land approximately on the outside edge of the painted line, not down the middle of the line. Line from hips to toe would be a more or less straight line, i.e., hocks not twisting nor almost touching as one would observe if hocks were weak. Definitely not pacing, where the feet on the same side of the body move in unison, which usually signifys either laziness or structural problems (at least in boxers and dobermans). Does this make sense?
