I am unclear whether the whites will be a serious fault or a very serious fault if this passes AKC and the membership. I have read it both ways. Below are the differences in the current standard. Joan Any missing teeth other than first premolars is a serious fault. Tails too short, or with clumpy ends due to ankylosis, are serious faults Pale, washed-out colors and blues or livers are serious faults. Faults of gait, whether from front, rear or side, are to be considered very serious faults. shyness must be penalized as very serious faults Joan F. Fox 17500 Haskins Rd.
