This is how I was told to stack a German Shepherd. It shouldnt matter if the dog is showline, workingline, Czech, DDR...etc...

Always stack the FRONT first, and intentionally just a little too far UNDER the body. This way, when you set the back left leg to the rear, it will pull the front legs into the proper position! If you set the front legs straight to begin with, when you set the rear legs, it pulls the body back, but leaves the front feet in their original position, but moves the forearms back, creating the improper angle.
When you set the rear, set his/her right rear leg (the one closest to you) with the tips of his/her toes right under where the tip of her peter should be if he/she is a male! (He/She will need this three point stance to balance while you set his/her last leg) Then set the left hind leg last- bring it back far enough from the body that the lower leg from the point of the hock to the pastern is pretty much straight up and down.
Doing this you will be able to see a much nicer topline, and it will accentuate a nice croup and tail set, as well as give an accurate idea of his/her proper proportions.

Wait a minute, none of the dogs shown on these videos are showline GSD's. One is an albino, not showline for sure and the other one does not look like a GSD either. The floor and the dog blend so good on the second video I can't even see the dog, is there a dog there?...lol.

I just wanted to help a bit, lol

Hachiko, I can not give a judgement as I'm far away from being an expert on this, I am in the learning process, lol

I really enjoyed the first video though. I'm jelous of the albino, she can stack me anytime...lol.

Actually, I think the girl did a pretty good job of explaining, but as she said, the dog was slipping while she was trying to stack it properly.....I do also believe that white GSD could very possibly be a show dog with the White GSD Club......It doesn't look like that was the first time that dog was sacked...

Not a bad video Ibrahim...It does give a very "in general" way to stack GSDs...... Thanks for sharing....
