Sunday fun with Stacking a working dog - Page 2

Very nice female. I agree it is hard to get that PERFECT stack. It does take 3 people to get a great photo, and sometime it doesnt even turn out right then.

I had to laugh when I looked at her pedigree.....(take in mind I LOVE Czech dogs)....I looked at her and said to myself "she looks Czech and reminds me alot of Galant z PS...then I looked at her pedigree and WHA LAA...too funny. I have 2 Czech females myself.

I love her color and topline!  I'm not expert enough to really comment on structure.  The second photo is best as far as the angle and how she is looking nicely forward and alert with her mouth open.  The front is too posted (which you already knew) and the left rear is a bit overstretched, but I've seen a lot worse stacks (like dogs with tails tucked, ears flat acting like they are being tortured).  I actually like the photos in the sun, it's not too extreme contrast and the sun angle is good (the shadow is behind you meaning the sun is behind the camera...taking the pic into the sun would be bad).

STACKING A WORKING DOG IS LIKE TRYING TO GET SUGAR HIGH TODDLERS TO SIT STILL AT AN AMUSEMENT PARK.

Exactly!  I also think they take perverse pleasure in messing with us, which is why they move a leg, dip their head or lean backwards, right at the moment your  finger depresses the button on the camera.  Look at her face, you know that's what's she's thinking.

I am not a show person so I can't speak intelligently about angles, etc., but  she looks to be in excellent condition, and looks built to work, so in my eyes, a very nice dog.

And the very best thing, is that the minute you give up & put away the camera, or the display says, "Not Enough"....the dang dog stretches out & stacks themselves perfectly....and rolls their eyes over to you with a big grin......,"See? I knew how all along!" LMAO!

I love your girl, she looks very much like my Ansgar, lean & sable, with those sparkly eyes....were she not so stretched I think her angles would be good, as well, but for now we can see she is very pretty, & healthy, & happy! What else really counts? Congratulations on a very pretty girl! jackie harris
