both dogs are gorgeous. I have no show experience so i can't help you there.
However as i was reading about the tail needing to be docked if you wanted to show i was wondering if you knew the tail would need to be shaved and all that hair would take a long time to grow back out. Having the vet shave as little as possible would be ideal for you HOWEVER it is not sterile and a good vet will want sterility over beauty. The body is being cut open, even tho it is a tail there are many blood vessels in the tail of an adult dog. She can get an infection or worse.
