Enlightened and breed knowledgeable people will know the difference. They also know the difference between congenital and genetic issues.

I really do appreciate the discussion. My wife wrote in the annual holiday letter "...John and Will are taking obedience lessons, Will goes along to make sure John does it right..."

She's got the right perspective here. <LOL>

Many developmental issues are genetic. The way a dog develops and matures is genetic.

A high tail set is not a developmental issue, it's a structure issue. (From Debbie's critique sounds like a high tail set, not just carriage.)

And tail carraige is not usually just a deveopmental issue. I have a cardi with a correct tail set and she's doesn't carry it high. Didn't at the age of your boy either. Some of them will when very happy, but it's not always deveopmental.
