As ever this is based upon my own research and knowledge and is a GUIDE for showing standards in the UK (for international variables please check with your breed society)

‼️ Edit - tails - Whilst I appreciate there is some controversy over shaved tails, I might add and reiterate these guides are just that "guides". As and when rules become official, we can update the wording. Please don't use this post to debate the tail debate ‼️
