thanks, im quite fond of her! never did i think i would just pick a brindle dog, not that i have anything against them, ive always been more for red colored ones, but color isnt everything and she stole my heart!... no i wont be showing her though she doesnt have any papers, but i figured i can still teach her to do that kind of stuff anyways. i think it will only make her a better dog. plus it will be good practice for me to work with her like i am going to show and other things because in the future i do plan on getting a dog with papers and showing them if they are worthy... how to you go about getting them to stand correctly? just to i know im doing it right

I start by simply teaching the "stand" command. So any time they stand, they get a reward. Then you shape that into keeping their feet still, where ever you put them. Sako is very natural at stacking, it doesn't take much to get him there, so I've been lucky with that.

For stacked pictures, you want to take the picture showing the "show" side (aka left side of the dog, like Sako's pics). The one of him at 6 months is pretty dead on for where their feet should be.
