I was able to get some decent stacked shots of LoLa yesterday. I am thinking she will be decent in the UKC ring once she fully matures. I am more worried about performance events but would like her titled on both ends if possible! I need to get a nice stack shot of her on the ground since the table has holes in it and it makes her stand a little funny, and the bitch kept moving her rear legs.






She is a very neat little dog! I love her to death!!

She's cute, I'm no expert on your breed and would love to see photos of her stacked on the ground. I think the table is making her look like her top line isn't level and it looks like she may not have a lot of lay back in her sholder. But again she's stacked on a table that is uncomfortable. She has nice feet, but they would be even better if you took her nails back a lot more, if you cut or dremmel them once a week they'll be nice and short giving her feet a chance to tighten up even more.

Thank you!. I dremel her nails regularly most of the time. However, I let them get a little long so we are working on it. Ooopps! Her topline isn't level, isn't supposed to be from what I am hearing and reading. Supposed to be an arch over the loin. Her shoulders do not have as much layback as I would like to see!

It rained a bunch here so photos will have to wait!

She looks good, I agree she looks a bit tense on the table (one foot looks flatter than the other in the back). I don't think (I'm no expert) her top line is an issue either. I would like to see her fill out in the chest but with her blood lines I doubt that will be an issue with time.

Is she a bit weak in the pasterns?

I really like her rear angulation!

I belive Seven Sins who is a member here and (you may know him already) has your breed says that it's very hard to get a really nice front end. I'm going to have to go and read your breed standard now and come back to your photos, then I can look at your girl with fresh more educated eyes.


Nails are a never ending battle in my house they seem to grow by the second here. I try to cut every week, but I know twice a week would be so much better for my boys feet.

Can't wait for some new non mud photos of your sweet girl.

I have nothing constructive to add, since I really know nothing about stacking other than "stand there!" :rofl1:

But I CAN tell you that you've got a beautiful dog there! I love her color. And her facial expression. :D

Thanks Guys.

Her pasterns are actually nicer than they appear in these pictures. Pasterns are a pet peeve of mine because Judge has weak pasterns.

Her chest is kinda weird considering some of her bloodlines. She takes after her mom who is also her grandma so she favors those lines more heavily than the other lines. But I have no fears that her chest will fill out though. lol I worry about her shoulders as she lacks a bit in that area.

I love her rear, I am hoping it helps prevent torn ligaments!

I agree stack her on the ground. Some of what you are seeing that you don't like will disappear when shes on the ground. She looks a little slouchy which is probably due to the table.

Sorry I know nothing about stacking, but she is a lovely girl!
and a very well behaved one for standing so nicely on that table!

(Romeo believes "stay" is only stay as long as you are holding eye contact.. lol)
