Posted by Gerald on 8/2/2006, 5:51 am, in reply to "Re: What do you want to talk about" Exhibitors must always keep in mind that they are at a "Dog Show". Showing your dog is why you are there. A judge can only judge what you allow them to see. An exhibitor should always try to stack the dog to its best advantage in profile to the judge. By doing so the judge is allowed an unimpeded view of the details of the balance of your dog. If you stack the dog incorrectly that may show the judge problems that dont exist. If you stack your dog wrong you can make it look cowhocked, long backed, weak fronted and many other detrimental views. Take your time when stacking your dog. Go slow and be sure you get it right. Be sure the head is in the correct position so that the shoulders will be shown to the best advantage as well as the topline. Be sure the feet are correctly placed to the judge can see the strength there. Take your time, take your time. I preach this message constantly. Going slow and doing it right the first time is more impressive than seeing someone wrestle with the dog. Use a patio door to see your reflection. Stack your dog and look at the reflection. You will soon see what is the best way to present your dog to its best advantage. If you have more questions, ask. Seeking knowledge is a virtue, not a sin. Take care.
