In a few days, I'm going to be hanging out at Retro Game Bar in downtown Portland with my friend and her boyfriend as a late celebration. Since the place opens at 5pm, I'm still trying to work out a good time for us to go.

OK so I'll try to explain it to the best of my abilities. I'll give you some photos for reference as well, but they're pretty bad, I haven't groomed him today, and it's very hard giving constant body command to a dog while trying to take a picture, so I apologize in advance. The very easy way of explaining stacking is having the dog stand pretty. To be a little more precise, it means having a dog stand in a certain way that brings out each breeds defining characteristics. To be even more precise, there are two types of stacking, hand stacking and free stacking. Hand stacking is when you place the dog in the desired position by moving their legs and feet and repositioning their neck by hand or through the lead (for the neck). Free stacking is when you give the dog the stacking command or you manipulate the dog by moving the lead and your body in a certain way so that they can get into the desired position by itself. The first photo is of Buddy hand stacking, and the second of him being free stacked

Thats a LOT of floof!

Grooming him is sometimes a pain, that's why I'm not too sure I want my show prospect to be a Cavalier

Thanks for the explanation, it was very helpful.

Thanks for the explanation, it was very helpful.

No problem, both Buddy and I enjoyed it! Buddy for the treats, I did because I got to speak about a subject I'm passionate about!

That's why I love this forum. The diversity, the community, I get to talk about my interests and passions here- I'm not allowed to do that at home

I'm so excited for my ducklings. I have one batch coming the week before Easter and one the last day of May shipping out
