My setter has long toed hare feet. Her movements are very horizontal and she is extremely agile and limber. She looks like gray smoke out in the grass and she can turn and flip in mid air. I keep her nails very short (the middle two toes nails especially), so that she doesn't jam toes or put stress on her pasterns and carpals in agility.
My pointer has very tight, high feet with meaty pads. She's fast but she runs like a race horse. Mud flying like crazy. lol. Her agility comes from the ability to change leads midstream and power over obstacles and go forever. But I still don't think she has cat feet - just very strong, well designed oval feet.
My dob mix had true cat feet. Round and tight with more upright pasterns. She was generally built more upright and was very strong - not built for speed but for endurance.
