The final step is complete....

A thank you to all the breeders, owners, exhibitors and handlers who were courageous enough to show their dogs in an often unwelcoming AKC conformation environment. And heartfelt appreciation to all the Judges who were bold enough to recognize these dogs as quality examples of the Rottweiler breed and to award them points on their way to AKC Championships!

We know it will still be a challenge to finish the un docked Rottweilers in AKC, but with the standard change, the judges can no longer display blatant disrespect, say they have no description of the tail, deem the dog as lacking merit or breed type all because they have a natural tail.

Teresa you did a fantastic job putting this album together for us to enjoy and share.

31 of us. Forever a special group. We made history. We were Trailblazers...

to American Rottweiler Club and is now Following the Process set Forth

Please keep in mind, the addition of the undocked tail description does not affect any of us who want
