Yes, I think it is very important for breeders to be strict with the rules etc etc, but for myself a newf is a newf and I just adore them and love your girls coloring. I had a rescue called Zack who had the raised tail (curly) and that is also a real no no. And i must admit that did not look to good. But his character was truly newf and we never bred him. Bing is gorgeous though, enjoy you dogs, cheers Ronnie
