Dean,
I'd like to know a little more about the 1980 Parker you posted, I don't think I've heard that story before.
Regarding the tails, I think Mr. Higgins might verify that the high tails have evolved through breeding as it became more desirable, and possibly some training. In the earlier days my understanding is the low or horizontal tails were more normal and acceptable and a lot of pointing dogs actually were in a near squat or setting position. If I was a setter or pointer person I wouldn't care, so long as the dog handled birds well but my understanding is a high tail is a more desirable trait.
