My daughter was asked last night at ringcraft to take a dalmation in the training as the owner of the had her hands full with a puppy.

My daughter is now curious - are dalmations stacked or free standing when showing.

Thank you
Patricia

Always freestood, with wonderful wagging tails.

or dare I say it........ baited :D     no, honestly, most Dalmations you see on the continent are baited :)

We free stand  WITH BAIT....still free standing!

Freestanding and ran on a loose lead.

yes archer :) 

I was told though (not by anyone on here though) that free standing and baiting are 2 different things. :)  One done with food, the other with no food as the dog stands relatively square when he/she stops. 

Could be wrong though. :) I've not been showing that long.

No, baiting is simply using food as a reward for good standing, and to keep the dog's interest, because it needs to have its tail wagging and ears alert.

ok, now I know :D  thanks a bunch :)

No ...cos you're baiting doesn't mean you're not freestanding. :d

just posted the one above and saw that you replied. :D

thats it, next time I see that woman I'm going to tell her that she misinformed me. lol

thanks again :)

Freestanding and baited. Never ever stacked. Run on a loose lead.
