Candy = I agree with you about the "tail" problem but the discussion I
wanted to start was about the Standard not mentioning the functions of the
tail in motion. So you severely fault the tail you describe while the next
judge does not fault the same tail on the same dog the next day. Who is
right? The Standard does not describe it as a fault. Should it be faulted
under the section in the Standard called GAIT? It states "Faults in gait,
whether viewed from front, rear or side, are to be considered very serious
faults. The problem with that is I have seen many dogs with the above
mentioned "faulty" tail, gait without apparent interference from the tail`s
bouncing off the hocks. Is it cosmetically displeasing of functionally
displeasing? Should a person severely fault a dog for reasons other than
what is called for in the Standard? Inquiring minds want to know? D.D.

>D.D.,
D.D. and All:
It is an obvious 'abnormality' that was not a problem when the Standard
was written for the Breed.. I don't remember it in the early years... Dead
Tail syndrome, became a particular problem associated with toe dragging, in
the
last 25 or so years..Correct me if I am not on the exact timeline for it's
appearance ..
There were tails that had been 'fixed' in some of the earlier times and they
appeared dead as the result of an obvious 'Botched Surgery'..The toe
dragging was not associated with the Botched tail... .
But this alarming condition of a flopping, dead tail , which is often
associated with toe draggers, and hock walkers, gives anyone who is cognizant
of
the obvious abnormality to penalize it as being unnatural and it's possible
consequences are very disturbing for the welfare of the Breed now and in the
future.
I personally think the Standard should be amended to consider it and rate it
as a Very Serious Fault.. JMO barb Williams
