Hello there.

It would depend on how you wanted to show your Border really. I free stand my bitch, but used to stack one of my males. You really need to get the best out of your dog, if he is happy free standing, then I think they look better, but thats personal choice, here is my bitch free stood.



If your dog is not a showman, then stacking might be a better option. Obviously ringcraft is the main thing for now, how old is your pup? and how about a pic?

will get hubby to take a nice pic of him later,he is still only a baby 7 months old so he his still learning and he is such fun to be around.

Also, are you in contact with his breeder....as they may be able to help you along and also it is good manners to ask your breeder if she/he thinks your dog is good enough to show, and if they mind......... Ringcraft is the best place for you to lean how to show..........good luck and enjoy it.

Borderdawn......... I love the way your bitch is free standing , she looks like she is a real showgirl

Thankyou Jackbox.
