Saw this pic online and I had to laugh, a Doxie standing like a GSD in a stack. Wonderful rear angulation and croup!!!

Stacking a Dachshund (not a "Doxie") or Dackel/Teckel is just as common as stacking a GSD in show.
They don't get stacked to look like a different breed, this form of stack shows the best feature of many breeds.

One of my cats puts herself into a GSD stack all the time, never been able to capture it in a picture though. Must have learned it from the dogs.

*sigh*
why is it that there are people who automatically assume that someone is ignorant simply because that someone makes a lighthearted post or comment?
I own Dachshunds, and yes, I know what the correct English spelling of the name is and I know what the German names for the breed are too. I used the word Doxie because it's a common slang name for the breed and it's shorter than typing Dachshund every single time, just like why people usually type GSD instead of German Shepherd Dog.
I've shown dogs myself and I've worked under some very big names in the dog show world. The only breed of dog that is stacked with one rear foot under the body and one rear foot back is the GSD. The picture I posted is NOT a correct form of stacking a Dachshund for the show ring. The Doxie is stacked with it's rear legs even. Though it's not uncommon for a dog to reposition a rear leg just before the camera snaps, I assume thats what happened here in this picture.
With dogs that are allowed to stack themselves (Handler does not manually position the dog's legs) the dog often does not stand absolutely perfectly square but instead will place one rear paw slightly ahead of the other.
Educating is overkill. This was supposed to be just a humorous post.
Summertime, lol, I know what you mean. I've seen my cats do that often too. Somewhere I have a picture of one cat doing a great free-style GSD stack while being baited with a treat.
