This change would be totally in conflict with trying to ensure that dogs are fit for purpose which is being bandied about no end in the UK. This would totally exclude a dog that is a winning show dog but who also works at home as it could not compete in its breed class because it had a docked tail for working at home. I though this was the point, that the dog with obviously the best confirmation but also a dog that can and does work. If it causes no distress to a working dog why would it stress any other dog.
