Interestingly enough, the gait on a show golden is nothing like the ones that actually work in the field.
Also in dealing with a breed like the pyr, they want the dog gaited in the ring, but the natural gait of the dog in work mode (i.e. moving across the pasture) is a fault in the ring. The alternate gate saves energy and strength and doesn't require as many resources and can be upheld for an extended period of time (hours if need be).
