Do you realise there are other stumpies, larger with wire coat.

My friend has them, he bought from breeders in Qld n NSW.

He calls them Smithfield's

He has had them on and off for fifty years, always wire coated

 

No one has applied to have them ANKC recognised 

He has never had a problem finding a replacement when he wants another when the old one dies

 

Are U going to include them? Have existed parallel to the others Tony said

To date, I still fail to find any differences behind those 2, long and short tail, that's paddock talk. I know that stumpies are pricing on the high side, however I believe it's just posh and clumsy marketing. Feel.free to check out what kennel clubs say about them. They say short tails don't get caught in gates and also say they have better balance in a tight space. Thing is, if I had a tail myself, I reckon it'd improve my balance drastically, look at kangaroos for example, why is this animal has the reputation to be an excellent boxer? Because they would never kiss the mat, simple.

 

Let me ask you one thing. The pups and grown ups you had then as protectors, were they Bagust's or Bentley's strains?

You would need to ask Hilton he knew the lines, too far back for me. Sadly he has passed. Ask dogs NSW if if they still have the book Hilton is mentioned in, it has lots of the early history of the breeders

 

Why are you ignoring the very different physique of ACD v ASTCD?

 

Also are you aware that breeding stumpy tail  to stumpy tail parents Means two copies in a pup is lethal. Hence stumpy to tailed stumpy yields bigger live litters
