That is one awesome puppy.  How do you teach them to stack anyway?  I've never had a show quality dog but I have thought it might be fun to get one and try and do the show thing.

I practice with him everyday for like 15-20 mins. At first I used food in my hand to keep his attention and getting him use to his back legs placed where needed to and everytime there were I would tell him to stand. Then I moved to me using my hand to help him stand still, you know how wiggle puppies are LOL Now I tell him to stand and he can almost stack himslef, there are still times I need to help him. In August he will go to a puppy match and I cant wait  ;D

That's so cool!  I wish they would do the same type of thing for pet quality/mutts.  That way people like me could get some experience with training for show and showing and get some fun quality time with our dogs.

Forgot to add good luck in August and I can't wait to hear how well he does.

Thats why I love showing...its the quality time I get to spend with Gauge...not all about the winning, even though winning would be nice LOL But this is Gauge's and mine special alone time together
