I wish it would be allowed to jump and to dance at a show

)))
Hahaha you and Maia both Easy. She does pretty good with this part but the moving needs a lot of work
I have little bit time till the “great thing” in november, hope my staff will not embarrass me
I hope they won’t either
Very nice.
Thank you! We have this part down pretty good but we really need work on the moving around the ring lol
Pretty, pretty.
Thank you, thank you!! We just need to get the moving down as good as the stacking…lol
She is lovely! I don’t get why they call it stacking though.
Thank you Jodi!
It is just a term meaning to place your dogs feet in the best position to show their top-line, angles, shoulder, etc. I found this definition that may help,
Stack
To cause your dog to stand in a manner that best displays it’s virtues. In most breeds, the dog’s forelegs are stacked in alignment with their withers, and their rear pasterns are squarely aligned and presented at a 90 degree angle from the floor. There are exceptions by breed i.e. German Shepherd Dogs, etc. One may “Hand stack” their dog by manually placing each foot in it’s best position, or else “Free stack” by using a hands free method of using bait, verbal commands, body language, or lead correction to get the dog to stack itself.
Also here is a link to the AKC listing a full glossary of terms:

Thanks for the explanation on Stack. That is interesting to read what is involved in the show dog arena.
You are welcome!!
Thanks for stopping by
What great posture!
Thank you, she is everything I was striving for from this breeding

Thank you so much, I am very honored
Stacking Mica did great, we had to learn not to lay down;)
LOL seems that runs with the newfie’s, Jen over at My Brown Newfie’s had the same thing with learning the cart.
Just beautiful. Glad you gave the explanation of “stack” as I have never showed a dog before so it was very interesting.
Thank you
I did a post a while back on showing if you would like to take a look you can find it here
