He needs to have some incentive Mom, bake him up some garlic liver on the rare side. Then he'll be happy to play show dog games!
When you stack him, try to get him to be 4 corners square. He looks high in the rear because he has a long turn of stifle. With the liver he may free stack naturally and you will get him to lean into his front and extend his back legs. If not to see how well endowed he is in stifle. grasp his muzzle with one hand and run your other one down the length of his back to the rear leg, and gentlely grasping his hock, extend the rear leg out. You will still want the hock to be perpendicular to the floor. Now that you have one leg back there, switch hands on his muzzle and do the same thing on the other side. step back snap the photo and admire his conformation, don't forget to slip him the liver so he will admire you!
For his wither measurement, its from the top of his shoulder to the floor.
At the base of his neck you will be able to feel a space between his 2 shoulder blades, this is the point where a wicket would ride, on down to the floor. Drop your tape from here, he must be standing to get a correct reading. bring lots of liver, soft bait, to play this game!
have fun! and post a photo using this method, you're gonna be surprized with the before and after shots.
P dawg out.
