  Excuse me.... how rude. I have been on YT for a long time and have never been replied to in this matter. I am talking about recent threads. I never mentioned anything about bows! I have been around a long time and am fully aware of the important topics. I think by me being around a long time (30 years) with this breed shows my devotion to this breed.  I also go to all-breed club meetings, seminars, shows, helped raise money for dogs (fire/police canines), etc... 
Also there is not much we can do right now to change this practice until the YTCA/AKC make the change and this as far as I know, won't be for another 3 years (to be allowed to change the standard). I do not think you are aware of this.
And if you are so concern about this - why did you buy a dog with a docked tail?? If you were concerned about this or felt this way - you should have done your research and bought a dog with an undocked tail to do your part to help support this. JMO!
