The stack should look natural. Usually I slowly walk the dog into a stand so that the front is correct without me having to do anything. Then I tweak the hind legs. Sometimes I throw a toy out in front of the dog to get him focused forward and slightly excited so he's not slouching. Often if I practice the stand out of motion exercise, the dog stops in a good stack b/c it is his natural stance.

Thanks for the posts guys lol. I will be doing some more practicing in a little while...

Takes helpers to get that perfect stack shot, hard to do it alone.
I think the dog could use a little more fat in the diet by the way.
I like the second shot.

I agree with you Two Moons about needing more weight on her. I've been trying to get more weight on her for months. You wouldn't believe the amount of food I feed this dog... I had blood work and a urinanalysis done on her yesterday to find out if its anything more then just her being incredibly active. Waiting on the results!

Mine are very active as well, it's hard to keep them where I want em.
I have to add fat to their diet in different forms.
Still a nice looking dog.

What way do you add fat to their diets? I was thinking about buying some Nutra-Cal... And I spoil her with as many fattening treats as she wants haha. Wish I had her metabolism! :P

Some of what I add to food also makes good treats and rewards,
Cocktail sausages
Kraft singles
Hot dogs (all beef ) the expensive kind.
I eat them too sometimes so they must be good enough for me..lol
Eggs but not sure they are as fattening as they are good for the coat.
Meat fat, ground beef, sometimes bacon cut up in small pieces.
Sometimes a fattier kibble added to my regular high pro.
And if I feed my regular kibble wet they will eat more of it.
I also use canned salmon for the coat about once a week.
Sometimes just whatever is handy, leftovers and such.
Mainly to keep eating enjoyable for them, food can get boring even for me.
My main rule is moderation, not too much of any one thing.
