Thanks thats what i thought re the second picture, just wasn't sure if she was positioned correctly leg wise in the first one i hoped she was but i've never shown before so its all new to me its so hard standing behind her and trying to position her back legs.

I'm not ''the best'' at showing Looks pretty good but I'd prehaps have a little bit more of a gap between back legs/paws? (someone correct me if this isn't what you do with dobes! But from looking at GSP and Vizsla showing thats what I'd be tempted to do!) I find it's hard getting legs just right my big lad is not that easy to show he free stands beautifully sometimes and then moves
My advice would be look at how others with dobes stack them in the show ring! And try and pick up tips and advice on how to really show off your dog, that's what we do! Hope you do well and enjoy it

Thanks for the help she is the first dog i've ever tried showing with (should have chosen a breed that doesn't need stacking ) i will have a look at some pictures on line and see how the back legs are positioned.
So hard getting the legs right and then keeping them there

First pic look's great. Time to start entering those show's I think

Do you have a partner? friends that you could get to go over her, as you have her stacked? Just so she get's used to lot's of different people going over her.
Also if you could get hold of a biggish mirror on the cheap you could position it against a wall, so that when you are stacking her at home you can see her reflection in the mirror as to what the judge is seeing from a side on view
