The aim of the study was to determine parameters related to the gait butterfly diagram in Belgian Malinois dogs. The center of pressure (COP) analysis was performed on clinically healthy Belgian Malinois dogs using pressure-sensing walkway. An average of 30 steps were taken by each dog. Gait analyses were carried out without using leash. The butterfly diagram created by pressure center during gait was obtained separately for each dog. Data such as anterior-posterior position, lateral symmetry, length gait ve Max gait line were recorded in mm using the butterfly diagrams. The average anterior-posterior position value was 60,01 mm and the average lateral symmetry value was 17,48 mm. The Max gait line average was calculated to be 52.23 mm. The objective of this study was to identify reference values for center of pressure analysis conducted on dogs using pressure-sensing walkway. The fact that it was possible to collect butterfly diagram results for dogs and that the values were similar within this study that made use of dogs of the same breed suggest that COP analyses can also be applied to dogs. It is thought that such systems will play an important role in fields of veterinary anatomy, orthopedics and neurology and the number of such studies will increase.
