I really like Boxers with their tails:

That's another reason I don't like dog shows - I prefer natural ears and tails!

Same here! That website that shows all those tails is shocking!

I prefer FCI

But actually it depends on breed.. I mean UK has awesome setters, especially gordons, as I´m showing them and other hunting dogs.

But USA has nice aussies and huskies....

but the one thing I really dont like about USA is how they change so many breeds into ugly dogs (sorry..) maybe the dogs arent ugly..but not as they were supposed to be..as example is GSD

look at his back legs!

how the dog is going to move on hard surface??

also I find USA dobies quite...not so beautiful as the original ones...

I'd just like to add that I really don't like how in my breed (dals) blue eyes are a DQ in the UK. I bet they've kept more cautious temperament though but I'm not sure. I prefer the slightly cautious ones over outgoing as the AKC standard says because1. outgoing dogs can get annoying, 2. They're supposed to gaurd my horses for me for heavens sake and chances are my future ones will!
