I hate to do that. Leo insists that it be docked because the understanding with my friend is that we will show him and the tail willl hold him back in the ring.
Which is unfortunate that AKC/Judges do not have the same mind set that European judges has.
If they import a dog with a docked tail, they do not hold it against that dog.
We exported one to my friend and she CH him with no problem and he did have a docked tail.
But for that to happen here, I don't think there has ever been a CH with a long tail over here? IF there has I have never heard of it.

I know what you mean Deana. This is the reason I had Frida's tail docked. I had promised Katalin I would show here. I feel that at this time in the ring showing AKC, in order to get them finshed easier - they must have a docked tail. Hopefully maybe this will change in the near future. We will just have to see and keep talking to the judges and delegates about this issue to persuade them to change their thinking. Frida's tail hair is growing out well. Here is a photo of her with tail. You cannot see it since it curls over my findger.
