WTF does "swinging tap dancer" mean?

[Bernadine]

As related to dogs.  I can't stop looking at dogs to adopt, and a lot of them say they are a swinging tap dancer.  I can tell from google it relates to activity level, but not what it actually means.

Uh, I did not think this was going to be dog related.


I would call whatever rescue that says that and ask

[lightbulbsun]

I have no idea.

I say my dog is tap-dancing when she's really excited and we're making her sit and she taps her front paws because she can't sit still. I don't think this is what they're talking about, but it's adorable and I wanted to share.

I would guess it means a lot of tail wagging and toe nail tapping. Like when they get so excited they dance. Weird description though.

Lol what?

I was NOT expecting this post to be about dogs. At all!

The SPCA has three levels of activity, this is the middle one. So the dog is active but not super hyper and not a lazy bum.

Was the SPCA drunk when they named the activity levels?

Not a clue, I only know things not reasons
