    To be honest,
    I rarely ever watch dog shows. Same ideas as Rhi's... but a tad bit differed overall I don't care for them.

    I'll stop and watch a show while flipping thru channels for a few seconds. All together, I find them boring.

    I havnt got a preferance because iv never seen a US show!
    but i think any show dog should show some potental (?speeling) in the job they were origally bred to do! (obvioulsly not toys etc). and im not for the docking ban, dog's like dobes,rotties, cockers etc look horrid with long spindally tails. not ust for looks porpuses either they were docked for a reason!
    but i would like to see shows from other contrys!

    I think they look good with full tails. The rottie's is full and thick, not spindley. They aren't usually docked for a reason anyway. ALL breeds have the same risk for breaking their tails. Besides, the rottie, dobermann, corgi, griffon brux, min pin, yorkie, and many other breeds aren't even used for hunting in heavy brush cover where their tails could be hurt.
