Is your dog graceful or a clutz?

Both. They both are pretty graceful but have some great faceplants. Summer did an epic jump and miss the bed this morning. Haha I died laughing.

Abby is like a deer in a dogs coat. The only time she was even minutely clutzy was when she was a puppy.
Deputy is sort of 50/50. His good days he's graceful, his "off" days he will walk into things (not a vision issue).
Kieber has yet to lean either way.

Cobain is usually the definition of graceful.
Running through the woods, dodging trees with ease.

Then I tried to teach him to jump into my arms....He became the clutziest dog in the world for that. Legs splayed out like "OMG guys I can fly!"


Rigby's more of a graceful clutz. She's not the smoothest and is prone to frequent trips and tumbles, but her recovery from said incidents are amazing. Her fall to recovery is usually so smooth it's either unnoticeable or almost intentional.

Jubel is a bit of both. Overall I'd say he's very agile. When he gets to run around off leash in the woods I've gotten many comments about how agile he is as he leaps over logs, runs along the top of fallen trees, makes sharp turns, and quickly scales steep inclines. On the other hand he can spazz out with zoomies in the house and trip on stairs, slam into walls and furniture but never misses a beat. Runs on like nothing happened.

Leo is also a bit of both. He is very graceful in his movements and seeing him jump and turn on a dime while being chased by another dog is a sight to see. No other dogs can catch him.
That being said, sometimes he is so focused on that other dog and looking over his shoulder that he will run head first into trees/people :rofl1:

Quinn has a lot of natural athletic ability and agility. I always took it for granted until I started looking after works labradoodle pup from time to time. He's just 7 months of fluffy, long legged clutz. I have literally seen him fall over thin air multiple times.
I feel bad for him playing with Quinn, because she wants to be chased and she can just stop, turn on a dime and race off again and for him it take... a lot more effort. haha

Kimma is really graceful. She always has been. Pen is pretty graceful, too.

Bubbles seems to not understand how her body works sometimes, but she's not especially klutzy.

Jari is a special kind of graceful. He can get himself out of some pretty interesting scenarios with relative ease, but he is also the one who PUTS himself in those positions in the first place :p

Feist can be super graceful, turn on a dime, duck to avoid Wesley when he jumps over her, etc. She can also fall walking up 2 stairs and hit her face.
