Of the three pictures (at the moment they were snapped) Peach is giving the best show for you. Queen appears nice but not showing well. Dan isn't showing at all and it's hard to tell what he's got. Thats what you do for the shows, train at home until the dog finally realize what it is you want them to do. The military trains us the same way with repetition until it comes without a lot of thought. Some learn well and others don't. All 3 will beneifit from more bench training time.
From all the fishing rods I see in the pictures I'd say you know more than me about getting a strike and landing a fish. Shows are similar in learning to play a dog to get what you want from them. Basics are the same but each may respond to some little thing that the others don't so you learn also. Compare your dogs to what you see winning locally and in the magazines and work toward that goal. Put a cheap mirror on the wall so when you look in it as you practice you'll see what the judge is going to see.
It's a military thing , stand up straight, square, and proud and the better they lead with you for gaiting the better it is.

Yes both are leaning forward and Queen is slouching down on you.

Yes both are leaning forward and Queen is slouching down on you. Both nice females ,just need a few minutes aday to tune up abit. Team effort, you'll get use to each other.
