Signals. Not just Atibox

Translated from the Italian original.

The boxerism represented by Atibox, which accepts in a confused mixture integral, partially amputated and entirely amputated subjects (according to 3 different and successive versions of the standard), we believe that it is schizophrenic, diseducational towards the opinion of the public and out of time.

Judge Kafka wanted to give a strong signal on what is the way to go without whether or not: judging according to the standard of race BOXER TEDESCO, what should be taken for granted and instead in the world of the boxer seems a utopia.

It is still possible to express a high professional judgment, regardless of its subjective taste and without subjecting to pressure from clubs or exhibitors, as unfortunately many judges have accustomed us even in the great competitions.

The world championship has the irreplaceable function of presenting the breed in the varied context of the canine breeds (and for this reason it is an exhibition of importance even higher than the atibox, which is a simple race gathering): we are therefore grateful to Mr. Kafka for having promoted the boxer in its integrated and modern version.

Finally, we note that the winners do not come mostly from countries with prohibitionist legislation. As a demonstration of how the individual national laws should not influence the judgment on display, which has as reference the standard that is unique, while national laws can be deviated. If therefore in a country not prohibitionist is not forbidden amputating, this means that those who do so are not prosecutable CRC, but on display should be admitted exclusively subjects complying with the standard, as happens also for other aspects, from color, to health, to height, etc.

This is the simple line to follow, which would convince in a short time to adapt to the intact standard, even those countries, where the amputato is still admitted, ensuring seriousness and uniformity of judgment at international exhibitions.
