My Spunky (Sel Ch Konigin's Phantom of the Opera) cracks me up. Earlier this
year, he and I walked in the Susan G Komen in Fort Worth. Lots of dogs there,
and quite a few GSD. Anytime we came across a GSD, he would self stack
himself. Thought at first I was imagining things, but no; he was consistent!
He was showing himself.

harder at the regionals)
was that each time a handler stopped a dog (especially during Specials) the
dog was being "showcased". It is one of the sights that I will always
remember. Ed telling the handlers to relax the dogs while he was checking
something
else, and yeah, SURE!, not a dog out there (well, almost) was not selfstacked
with the handler standing away showing off the dog. Yep, it was a show!
When the judge was "walking the line" there were some handstacked, but the
ones that I'm talking about weren't even bait stacked, they were just proudly
standing there.
In the younger classes, it was not evident and lots more hand stacking, but
even then, there were the outstanding dogs that just showed themselves.
Actually, I love the way Ken does that, Kathy. He's standing with a dog
(well, MY Dog lol) and has him/her "showcased". Then checks the stack for the
individual or the "walk the line" and handstacks if necessary. So maybe it's
a handler thing?
