Practicing the Stack (by Luna)

Yay! I get to do another post by myself! Mum says it’s cos I am getting older and more responsible. I reckon it’s just cos Kaya is getting lazy in her old age… ouch! Kaya! Fine then she’s not old. She’s being generous apparently.

ANYWAYS, not sure if you guys knew this, but I am a show doggy! Mum’s never done it before me but she wanted to give it a go so we are both learning as we go. We can’t just turn up at shows and do it though, we need to practice! One of the things we practice is the ‘stand’ or ‘stack’.

I have to stand like this so that the judge people at the show can see my conf… confer… conformation!! Which basically means what I look like and how I am put together.

After we stand and the judge examines me, we get to trot around the ring so he can see how good I look when I am on the move! I like this part the best I think.

We do lots of practice at home to try and get me in just the right position. I like these sessions cos it means I get lots of CHEESE!!! Which is my favourite ever treat, yum!

We have a show coming up this weekend so here are some pics of me and Mum doing some practicing…

I stare at the cheese but make sure I don’t grab it before Mum says I can have it…

Yay! I was good, so I got to have some cheese…

More staring at the cheese! Mum moves it all around and I have to follow it with my eyes, just to make sure I am concentrating!
