Sally, Tail problems , dragging insteps, hocks nine miles long....we see this at almost every show. It is not just ugly, but tail problems speak to issues with hemi vertebrae and CNS involvement. But some people keep breeding these problems , and will as long as judges keep overlooking it. If it is "ok" and rewarded. then people have no motivation to change. Very sad to see.
