I have Cresteds & I wish they would get away from the kneeling/stacking as well. One of my Cresties is wonderful at free stacking and I never get on my knees with her even if all the rest around me are on their knees. She can stack herself up wonderfully and she looks great that way with her tail wagging and an alert expression on her face. My other guy needs some assist at times but I work on getting a free stack from him as well. I have gone on my knees with him but really prefer to not show my toy dogs this way. Sometimes it's the only way to keep him still for any length of time. I am glad to hear that not kneeling is acceptable in the Cavalier ring. Where did the habit of kneeling & hand stacking toy dogs get started in the AKC toy ring? Are there toy breeds that this is the only way to show them in the AKC ring?
