Yes, her home country is Japan. I dont know how she did there.
Japan's Kennel club is a member of FCI so the FCI standard is in effect.
I chose Juliana because in my opinion her tail shows an as natural as possible continuation of a docked tail.
Its as straight as possible and its length gives a well balanced appearance. I wouldn't mind if it was a bit shorter though.
As for the carriage, its not carried a little higher than the level of the back - as the standard requires - but its not carried at 90 degrees either. Its somewhere in between.
So the outline is not disturbed, it looks balanced, at least in my eyes and according to my perception of the ideal.
As for US and also Canadian bred Yorkies, they are not absent at least in OUR minds and in OUR pedigrees.
They have influenced the international scene a great deal.
As a matter o fact many many European dogs have American or Canadian bred Yorkies in their pedigrees.
Unfortunately they can't participate in Shows held under FCI rules with their docked tails.
Anyway
We all belong to the same family.
The yorkie family! |
