Was going through some old files and found these videos. Never meant to post them but thought that I would for fun.

Here is a video from December of me stacking Trent. Please ignore the music in the background/turn off the sound, I didn't realize the sound was being recorded and can't figure out for the life of me how to remove it.

A friend of mine has already been kind enough to give me an extremely helpful critique of my stacking "abilities" (or lack thereof!) but comments on my dog's structure would be appreciated. He looks very young and not quite so filled out in the video, but is much better in person. I'm not sure if it's the camera angle, but I promise he does not have such a "pin-head".

He is 2 years and 10 months in this video. First time being baited in over a year, his "stay" is usually better but due to my poor stacking job, he moved his paws a few times to regain balance as he leaned forward.




Here is a video of him from this last summer. He's gaiting, but again, not his best. He typically tries harder, but this was on a hot summer day after several hours out.

He's around 2 years and 6 months.



A few pictures from a couple months ago..

I somehow missed these.........Trent is such a handsome boy! He looks very familiar for some reason hehe, only SO much calmer!

I like Trent I think he has a very nice face - I have no idea how to critique. To me, his movement while gaiting doesn't seem to extend as far as others I've seen but I've no idea if that's good or bad.

I do have to say that I'm incredibly jealous how patient he is while you stack him - I need to get Kastle to that point!!! What a good boy!

I wonder why? LOL I still think Z is the better looking sibling, especially now that I have seen her in person

She just has better things to do than be manhandled and stacked in funny poses! We'll have to get the two together sometime. I know you'll be amused with how similar they are in behaviorism, too.



Thanks, I like him, too! He does lack reach (undesirable), I have been told he opens up at the shoulder okay though his extension is lousy, especially in this video. He's really tired and hot so he isn't working quite as hard as he usually does, but overall he doesn't have good reach. Good reach/extension make for more efficient movement and more ground covered.



He really is a tolerant dog, even when I tripped over him a little near the end LOL Poor puppy, having to put up with me. He has been stacked fairly regularly ever since he was young, so he's very accustomed to it by now. And yes, I'm one of those crazies who stack their working line dog, even though we have no plans to show conformation
