Me too!!! Too bad AKC frowns on it they want a docked tail !
So now if I wanted to show him I think i have to dock it. So I wonder what they do with the european imports any thoughts?

I think some of the imports are still shown I could be wrong. I am not sure if they are docked.
I think this is why they offer Open dog class, since any imports could not be shown in bred in America class.

I dunno bout that ? The standard calls for a docked tail I was almost disquailified at a show once for having the wrong cut. I got Clay Cody as my jusdge and of course we knew each other from showing and he was able to get i lessened to simply judged But he with held the ribbon . so I would like to know for sure . I plan to import , and I will have to look into this .. I think I will call AKC

Chest deep and moderately wide with well sprung ribs. (b) The loin is short, broad and muscular. (c) Tail straight, set on high and carried up, docked of sufficient length to insure a balanced outline. Major fault: set low, curled, or carried over the back

Akc said that it was up to the judges discretion ? the poodle club of America sets the standard .

Yeah but in UKC getting CH is like easy , no other poodles need to show up in order to win a CH. This is why I feel if you do UKC you need to Grand them. I know every area is different it just depends how many poodles show up in your area.

I will always remove the dews as they can really injure themselves in the field with them but I too am loving the tail. It is so expressive! He holds that tail up like a flag ! I have a girl that I left really long that is coming along nicely as well...i will post some puppy clip pics of her this weekend
BTW I love her kleins !!! And thanks for the info I did email her !!!!
