Hi, Pam,
Did she hand or hard stack him? I have never seen Taffe do that, and I
would be surprised to have seen it even at Westminster. I wouldn't have
wanted to show in formal clothes and perhaps that was her solution. I
don't know......or care. <G>
However, that wasn't really my point. I'm wondering why anyone could
think that kneeling down (as opposed to hand stacking) so long as the
dog was free stacking was a most important topic?
Andy was one of the most NATURALLY presented dogs there. Did no one
notice that?
Oh, er and thanks for the welcome back! <G>
