wolf run cycle research and development

After trying my first failed attempt at a wolf run cycle,I searched through the internet for reference pictures, to which I could use to get more fluid movement in the back and legs.
Later on I found that Posing the wolf in these positions and repeating that cycles gave much more fluid movement and became quicker to animate.

In this first example of me trying to animate the wolfs legs, you can see the inconsistency of the movement, as the timing is completely off. This animation was scrapped and I started again with it.
