Good question- just one of those things- it has been like that forever. If you had seen dogs in the 70's they had very short tails- look at the kids in the ring today and they all have much longer tails. We have also changed the position of the topknot on the dogs head- used to be much further up -it is now brought down closer to the eyes. Who knows how these things happen but it is the way of the show ring. |
