She's here!

Oh yeah I know, but not like this. These are people in the ring with them and they are way more animated than what you see here. They line the dogs up shoulder to shoulder vs head to butt here. Then about 5 feet or so in front of them is the "baiter", don't know what they call them. But they are right there going nuts trying to get the dog to pull.
I know what you are referring to. I have seen it in videos of EU shows. I think it's a bit over the top, but that is jmho.
 
There are people in AKC conformation that bait with toys. Whatever you have to use to get your dog's attention, keep their focus and add expression, as long as it's safe and not distracting.
It's interesting that AKC allows it and UKC doesn't when AKC is so much stricter. I guess some UKC judges allow baiting and others don't, but I don't think toys are allowed, unless they're tiny and in your pocket where they can't see them.

If I could have a helper/baiter release a squirrel in the ring for Della, we'd be golden. LOL :D
 
Just my thoughts, not sure if they are accurate as I am more knowledgeable on the NA and SA end of things. They stack to show structure for working purposes. The stance accentuates the chest and shows off the true topline. Many EU breeders and judges feel that a dog that conforms structurally with a strong topline will show a slope when in a natural, alert stance. The interpretation of a strong topline is given more importance in EU as is strength and working ability. Mouth is left open to accentuate the boxy head



Thinking about it and watching Drake play fetch with my son last night, you may be on to something. My son was working on wait with him. Dan (my son) would tell him wait then throw the ball. Drake would stand in a slope ready to go when he heard free. Might just be a natural alert stance for them.

Amazing that a stack can change the look of a dog so much. I played around with Drake and did what I could to get a euro stack. Not sure exactly what I was doing but did notice it brought out some muscle. I guess he needed to use them to keep himself standing?

Sounds like me behind the person with the camera, taking a picture of the grandchildren!! I'm making faces, pointing fingers, making V's behind the cameraman's head, practically standing on my head, making them laugh! lol:weird: Oh, and trying to get a pic of the horses with their ears forward!!

:rofl: Oh, we'd both be in business!!
 
Big day! Rumor is 1 month old today. Happy B day!
I have a few videos I need to figure out how to post. If just won't happen and I can't seem to figure it out. I should have some time tomorrow to sit down and see what I am missing.

HA HA! Happy Happy 1-month, Rumor!!
And....you're damn right you need to figure those videos out!!...Get on it!!
I NEED to see her. Are you marking off days on a calendar??
 
Happy 1st month birthday, Rumor!

Where's that time gone?!

:hb:





Personally I'm glad it's going pretty fast. I went shopping for her because there were some good sales and keep thinking her come home day is so far away.





HA HA! Happy Happy 1-month, Rumor!!

You bet I'm marking off the calendar! She should be home mid December and there is still way too many days to go.
I'm ready! She has some collars to grow into and lots of puppy toys. She even got a brand new crate! Greta was such a big girl. She's had a huge crate and I can't find the divider that makes it smaller.

I think I have the same videos from Vera. Feeding time video shows Gelert at the right hand side of the bowl (next to Vera's hand) at the start so I guess Rumour is opposite him.

Thought I'd have a go but it seems difficult to download from Viber. I have three videos of Gelert and Rumour and unidentified brown male pup - same as you I guess.

Yup! The brown male is a beast! I have another one that she put a necklace on Rumor, so cute!

If you get the videos figured out, feel free to post them. ;)


I just looked at the video again. Your boy is quite the looker. OMG! Those feet! :eek:
 
They're adorable! You should be able to upload them to Youtube so you can share them, but if they're in the wrong format I can change it and try to do it for you. I can't remember if Youtube supports mp4 or not.
