At the last YTCA Roving show in Louiville Ky this issue was discussed because American dogs cannot show successfully in Europe and European dogs do not do well with judges here in the states.

I found it very interesting that the reason docking has been done away with in Europe is not because of the Yorkie/dog owners. It was totally a decision made by politicians that did not include dog owners as such.

There's was a discussion about any solutions for the show people, but given the standards the judges must follow here and in Europe, it is currently a totally unreasolvable issue.
