The US judges have to follow the AKC/YTCA show standard for the breed in this country. Europe has a different standard. Europe will not change as they have deemed docking as cruel and disfiguring -- this was done by law, no dog owners were consulted. The only change where folks could show in US and europe would mean that the US will have to change their standard for the breed.
The discussion comes up frequently at YTCA and at Roving events, but no one has a solution.
