Documentation
reaching all the way back 100 years or so from Ireland shows that this has been the
breed standard pretty much right along.
Much of 2015 will be spent in educating and clarifying the
breed standard to the entire club membership, plus evaluator training and consensus - building (to try to
reach as much agreement as possible on category weightings and scoring).
Some
breeds as a whole take longer to
reach social maturity (golden retrievers, labrador retrievers,
standard poodles), while others are more open lifelong in general (scent hounds as a group tend toward being dog social lifelong as a function of how they were
bred to work in groups for humans).
The
Breed Standard reads that the tail should just
reach the dogs hocks, and though some dogs will have a slightly longer tail, your goal is to trim the tail to that length as closely as possible, and still not have the tail look noticeably sculptured.
