Don't Let The Tail Wag The Dog.


New York's Court of Appeals will tackle the tale (or should we say the tail?) of a purebred dog and whether the pooch is being discriminated against by current dog show standards.

Jon H. Hammer, owner of a Brittany named Ms. Dale's Spooner, has been trying since 2001 to get the American Kennel Club and the American Brittany Club to stop taking points away from dogs like his.

So what exactly is Mr. Hammer's beef with these dog shows? It seems that Ms. Dale's Spooner doesn't have a docked, or clipped, tail.

Breed standards at dog shows state that any Brittany with a tail "substantially" longer than four inches shall be "severely penalized" by show judges.

Hammer, who incidentally is a Manhattan lawyer, says docking a dog's tail violates state laws prohibiting the cruel treatment of animals.

The American Kennel Club counters that Brittanies were bred to hunt and that docking the tails prevents injury while the dogs are in the field.

So who's right and who's wrong? It looks like the state's highest court will decide this tail of the tape.
