*Table breeds*
Yay!, the small breeds of the show world, these include, the whole toy group, short legged terriers and some long legged  Norwhiches up to Welsh terriers) , Corgis, Cocker Spaniels (english and American) Dachshunds, PBGV's and basically everything under 15 inches i believe is generally accepted as table breeds, although breeds like bull dogs, clumber, sussex, and basset hounds are considered ramp breed which is generally used at specialty shows, so most of the time those breeds are judged on the ground unless the judge wants those breeds on the table due to health problems.So you must be wondering WHY ARE THEY JUDGED ON A TABLE, well smart one, because they are tiny and the reason why is because the judge needs to exmaine them at a height which allows for better total view of the dog.  here are some pics to help you with stacking a small breed
Heres a pic of a dahchund, The dachshund is one of the few Hounds that are generally examined on a table, keep in mind the length of the dahchund and how to properly set the legs, this is a pretty decent picture of how one should set a dahchsie up.
This is a great shot of how a table breed should be set up, notice the front feet are at the edge of the table, and the back feet are aligned and show the angles the hindquaters have. Also notice how she is baiting this dog, very hands off, and how the corgi should be shown, hands off.
Here is a nice shot of a Smooth Fox being examined on the table, notice how thourgouh the judge is exmaining this specimen, keep in mind how much you should train your dog on the table to better have control of him, and to present a calm confident dog in the ring.
