you can do a google search for handling classes, contact a local all breed club, or contact a larger training center - they often have a handling class.

Some all breed clubs offer a handling class, but if not, they might be able to direct you to one.

For a good evaluation you could have a good Dobe breeder evaluate her - you can often meet them at a local show if you contact them ahead of time.

From the picture, she looks like a pretty bitch with nice bone. What is her breeding?

The American method of stacking a dog is very different from the European method - although they do stack more like us in the UK. We want a dog to stand very balanced with the head up - no leaning. If you see a dog standing loose in the yard when it is alerting on something - this gives you more of an idea of what we are looking for. Although we place the feet where we want them, a well balanced dog will stand that way naturally. There is a certain amount of "freestacking" done in the American ring so that the judge can see how the dog naturally sets themselves up.
