This is not to open a very well argued subject AGAIN but rather just a little advice. Our standard says "tail docked close to body". Until the standard tells a judge how to judge the tail, which we (the ARC) hope never happens, it will be very difficult and expensive to get points on your tailed Rottweilers. The ARC has had clear-cut seminars for judges to stress the fact that our standard states "docked". I will not argue this nor will I post again on this subject....just saying if you enter your dogs you probably won't have much fun? which is why you say you are doing it? Why not show the german style shows where your dogs will have a much better chance?
