Our show is coming up fast! I am struggling with the stacking, but have faith it will come together before June.

Just pretend you don't see the mulch trailer. I have been mulching but it has been so hot that it is taking forever.​

These 2 pics I like because it shows how happy he is to work on his obedience.

Great job Paint - Does make you realize we could have used an extra hand!! He is looking good. and when he leans over his front feet it will level out his top line.

Like I told Jess, I feel like I need to be an octopus sometimes. That pic was actually a free stack. He walked up to me and I said stand and from my top view it looked better than it was. It is hard to get a good picture of because our camera is slow and most times he has moved before it is snapped.I do have better pictures, I just resized the wrong one.
We are going to work on it again today and my neighbor and his 4 kids are going to come over and help. Jeff is going to play judge and examine him and the kids are going to be a distraction. Then the plan is to get more people involved and take him to a new place to practice, like the park down the street. I love having these people for neighbors! They are so helpful and supportive of the things I do with the dogs, especially the reading program.
 
better stack.webp

I think this one is a bit better. Well at least his back looks better. Still not perfection, but with practice we will get close. I have gotten some good tips from D4E and Panama so we are gonna practice again today. After we took these pics yesterday, I had my friend trot him around so I could see what he looks like. OMG! It was a take your breath away moment!
 
Lol Earl!

I agree the second pic looks better and I'm sure it'll look better as he leans into those front legs, like Suzan said. You guys will get there and being able to look back at the pics will help you for the next time!
 
a couple helpful links...
the video is SUPER dark (a shame because she does such a great job of demonstrating) but you get the idea by just watching her movement and how info.... IF ONLY she had seen how dark these where when she made them... there are several on youtube of her and all are great...
second video is a series of video's by a professional trainer and handler.... great videos!

I agree the second picture is better. The only thing i see is you may have the back legs a little far back other than that he looks awesome. The biy definitely git a double dose from his daddy and grandpa. When and where is your show?

I had a friend with me to take the pics and she is not so sure what we are looking for and I don't have a good enough eye to be able to tell from the top. So from here on out Rob is forced to be my camera guy so he can tell what when we got it right.
The show is June 23 & 24 at Purina Farms.

Your pictures and dog are beautiful. That's one downfall to a rescue Dobie, no shows for us. Wouldn't trade my baby for the world though. Good Luck. I'm sure y'all will do great.

The UKC actually has a limited registration which works out great for dogs of unknown heritage. I just registered Java and got her UKC number. While you can't do conformation shows, you can participate in all kinds of other things like agility, obedience, weight pulls, rally, lure coursing, and dock diving. :) http://www.ukcdogs.com/WebSite.nsf/WebPages/RegistrationLimitePrivilege
