Hi This is what I like about the list it makes me confirm what I have in my mind American - hair on feet short but tufts may appear on toes and grow beyond them growing to a point British -the same Canadian-the same However I have read all standards and it doesn't say' the feet may be or must be or can be trimmed The absence of direction tells me that they shouldn't be trimmed. as a professional handler I showed a very famous pap for Clarice Babbige called Jaclair Ziggi and they would have fired me if I had trimmed one hair. It is not a disqualification but the Cavalier standard doesn't have trimming as a DQ either. The cavalier people that shaped the breed and developed the standard were smart enough to put the no trimming into the standard. I had to go back to the books on this one. Elaine Whitney

I have numerous books on the breed (haven't read them in a couple of years though) and for the life of me can not remember seeing anything about them not being trimmed. I know the standard calls for a hare's foot shape which allows for tufts at the tips if desired. Is this something that is only in the Canadian standard?
