If you watch any breed of dog self stack itself, it almost never stops in a
true square stance.? Of course, I am not saying the ones who have been trained
to do so.? One of the hind legs is slightly ahead of the other one when they
are running around the yard, and come to?a stop.
To me, I would think that stopping and stamding with a "kickstand" is more
natural and comfortable for the dog.
Try watching how cats stand naturally, especially when they are watching
something.? I love it when my cats stand like GSDs.

I used to think it had to do with balance, and to a degree it does.. the GSd
is longer than it is tall, so a foot place further behind allows them to
keep their balance and yes, ready to go in an instant..
now that we have dachshunds, however, I am not so sure because they are even
longer and are stacked 4 square in conformation judging.. that said, in
watching my puppies run around, I am often seeing them set themselves up
like shepherds.. curious..
