thanks for the tips! she doesn't have any show breeding in her so she isn't as nice as some dogs! but she is the closest thing I have to bench showing! but she is a nice dog! and she dose have a little trouble staying on her toes.

Nice movement photo, Casey.

Practice in front of a mirror and get the image in your head where you feel like your dog looks best. Most of the time they will let you know if you do not have them set right. When you stretch her back too far it is hard for her to set the front end.

I might add, I am no expert, but you work hard and develop the methods that are the most comfortable for you and your dog. Remember she is young too, so she should get stronger and develop more and that will help you a lot.

Wish you the best and most of all enjoy your hound!!

-Becky

Thanks Becky! I have thought about doing it with a mirror, that's why I take pics of her so I can see what she looks like. and she is maturing quickly so that will help me a lot too!

another thing, keep her head level. do not teach her to point her nose in the air. that breaks her shoulders/neck set and is also not a natural stance.

you can also give 1000mg Vit C daily. dont know why, but it will help with the feet.

Thanks Dana! she is behaving much better I can actually almost get her to hold her head by herself when i'm setting her up! she is a super fast learner once she knows what I want her to do she tries her best to do it! I talked to joe yesterday it sounds like Fred is settling in. i'm glad he's doing good. I never worked him n the bench much. and he is a lot of dog to handle lol!
