dogtrot
[ หdษษกหtrษt ]
gait, animal
A dogtrot is a specific type of gait exhibited by certain breeds of dogs, primarily used for longer distances. It is characterized by a speed that is faster than a walk but slower than a gallop. This gait is notably efficient and allows the dog to conserve energy while maintaining a steady pace. Many working dogs use the dogtrot as it is suitable for covering ground over moderate distances without tiring quickly.

Etymology
The term 'dogtrot' originates from the combination of 'dog,' referring to the animal itself, and 'trot,' which denotes a specific gait or movement progression. The word has been in use since at least the 19th century, originally used to describe the way certain breeds of dogs, particularly those bred for herding or performing tasks, would move over long distances. In the broader context, the dogtrot has also been adapted into various cultural references, including architectural terminology, describing a style of porch that allows for ventilation and comfort similar to the relaxed pace of a dogtrot. As the English language evolved, the term has remained popular among dog enthusiasts and those knowledgeable in animal behavior.
