Do your GSDs stack themselves? - Page 2

Yep mine freestack a lot and yep, they look better than my stacks (even though both dogs are "show dogs"). It's because they stack naturally when they are alerting to something, so they pick their heads up, ears erect and forward. Sometimes when they are being placed they don't like being touched like that so they slouch, or they are bored so their head is down. So far the best stacks I get are when I tie Nikon's ball to the fence, put him on a lead about 5' away and stack him while he's antsy for the ball.

Ours do it all the time when something has caught their attention. Typically they look better than my attempts to stack them. Of course, do I ever have a camera handy when they strike perfect poses on their own? Nope!

Morgan does, she has a long lovely floaty structure. Otto doesn't but probably becuase he's built like a coffee table.

Both my dogs stack themselves all the time but Cody does it more often, almost 90% of the time, probably because he's half American. I am in LOVE with Cody' stack much more then Isa's, he just seems more balanced then her because his back is straight.
