Interesting, do you mean you are showing her in the U.S.?

I would have preferred full tail for Tiki rather than her stub that was docked too short. Love my full tailed Morkies with their "flag waving" tails.

I also understand those who are so used to the show standard look and find it hard to accept anything else. They have their point/preference too.
