I like the look of cropped ears, although here it is illigal. so i obvioulsy wouldnt have it done!
i prefer docked tail on all docked breeds but that has just become illegal.
It mostly is for cosmetic but for working dogs it wasnt.
i wish all my dogs had ALL of there dew claws off but didnt so so far iv had about £250 of vet bills to have them repaired, treated and only one they removed because removing the other would have been cosmetic (il proply have to have the other removed somtime anyway because it only a matter of time before he tears the other!)
De-clawing cats??? how will they climb, defend themselves? im not sure i agree (its illegal here anyway) but we had 2 cats from the US that were declawed in our sallon and they we bliss to groom,NO threat of getting cat scratchs bliss bliss bliss!
so if its illigal to dock crop and declaw why are they still removing dewclaw which must be just a painfull if it is?

why alter something that doesnt need altering?
