hi margo ..y respect yu and yur work ...no problem for quality of yur selection ...if y have some doubts from tail(and not just yur tails) is just because after speak with a lot of breeders /judge(not only french don' t worry) /and slovakian owners ...my opinion for tail position is more near navarre 's pictures .... and if for curly tail yu find good position it s yur opinion and y respect yur choice ...but for me y prefer higth and up when dominant attitude is present but more straigth ...(like glazia in a ring )y love very mutch yur "G"litter .... (it' s not a secret ... all french people y meet in dog show know that y like very mutch yur marriage with kondor and joly)....for an other part

f caracther and tails ..of course a tail down is a real problem and a fault ..y trust yu and all people y meet ... (they are not saarloos ..... and shy comportment is not good)... y m very happy that yu explain that this forum is open to all discussion ... yu prove that yu are different than "some people"and yur real intelligence and open mind .... thank yu very mutch margo for yur intervention on this "difficult" topic and "different point of vue "subject ... thanks again ...best regards ... frank
