Stacking picture & beach adventures

Hey everyone! :)
Saturday Sara tried to take some Stacking pictures of me, but I sure didn´t make her life easy ehehehe
I was twisting and moving all around... so this was the best we could come up with!



what do you think?
by the way... how do you guys keep still in this position? is it lot´s of training, or is there a trick to it?
And in the afternoon we went to the beach, here are some photos! it was a beautiful day :)










Lots of licks!

Olá Pu! Até pareces campeão de natação! A tua pose é mesmo muito profissional mas o grande truque são biscoitos, acho eu!

Hey PU! Not bad for your 1st try. Haha! I guess you were aren't sure what your Sara was doing to you. The key to standing still is learning how to 'stand/pose' & 'stay' on command. And then your hoomans must touch you all over your body even parts where they shouldn't be touching so that you will get used to it. Sometimes judges will adjust your footies, open your mouth, pull your tail to see the length & touch your *ahem* just to make sure everything is there. So it's all got to do with training. For us, we never learned how to pose but because we are OB trained & are used to being handled & touched by other people, we can do it quite well. If you are planning to go for show, then this is vital because judges don't like wiggling dogs. They will fault them immediately. But Mommy say you look good!

Ola amiguinho PU... se quiseres depois peço à Cláudia para te ajudar com estas posições "estranhas" eu já passei por isso quando fomos à monográfica de Retrievers ;)

Agora para mim as melhores fotos são as da praia !!!! Gostamos muito da 5ª foto... a Cláudia até disse que parece de revista hihihi

O Ricardo já está melhor?

Hi Pu,

I think you stacked yourself naturally and beautifully on the beach! (that first picture) I think natural pictures are much more beautiful anyway - the stacking pictures for shows always looks so stiff and artificial!

It would take lots of treats to keep Charlie that still!
