Ruth, We do not fluff or poof. You need to stop insisting we do. In fact show up to a show and watch us. Sasha has a tremendous coat, some call it breathtaking, stunning and some don't like it for various (sometimes obvious) reasons. As far as "technically against the standard" Really? Come on, you know better. From the Standard: "Neck and shoulders heavily coated, especially in dogs, giving mane-like appearance. Tail and britches densely coated and heavily feathered. The Tibetan Mastiff is shown naturally. Trimming is not acceptable except to provide a clean cut appearance of feet and hocks". You have never seen Sasha in person and know nothing about how he is groomed, so you should probably stop making assumptions.
