When I was viewing this the presentation of Andy...I did not feel she was hand stacking that dog (posing the dog by hand positioning the legs and body)!
I feel She was bending down with her knees like a proper lady would do to assist with something below her waist level. (Any Nuns watching would be so proud). That is like one of those rules...similar to wearing clean undergarments incase you are in the car accident...LOL I do remember at one national an exhibitor bend over from her waist to adjust the lead and dog in the ring to gain a proper expression ...and she was wearing a short skirt. This was not a pretty site...the term "exposing one rear in the ring" can mean more than one thing LOL. Definition via the "Beginner Guide to Dog Showing" available to review on the AKC website... Stacking - Posing the dog's legs and body to create a pleasing picture. I think we can all agree that Andy did not look posed in the ring...he truly looked in a natural state...
