I'm not disagreeing that kneeling to stack your dog is a bad thing. It is. What I'm saying is that kneeling to stack your dog is not presenting an altogether different dog to the judge. Bleaching the 50 freckles on the muzzle and the ticking on the legs, dying the back to present a prettier top line, blackening the nose to hide a flaw, and trimming the dog does present a different dog to the judge than the one who really exists. The judge's job is to award a win to the best in the ring......but with all the bleaching, dying etc. that is going on, how can a judge tell which dog really is the best of the dogs presented?
