I was also wondering about the docking (no offense), it's just that I'm surprised how different the breed standards are in different counties. It was a common thing here, too, in earlier years, that's why Rocky was still docked (born 1994), but after that, it became illegal here in Germany, that's why Emma has her tail. And it looks beautiful IMO! At first, people used to say "a rottie with a tail looks ridiculous", but I don't think so. Emma's tail makes her look very elegant and ladylike.

TY Kirsten.

RE: docking elsewhere, and even in the US, what one breeder decides to do is of course, their business. I am not bothered by seeing Rotties with tails, altho it is more unusual to see them in the US than in some other countries where docking has been completely outlawed.

Eyes are opening on several of the puppies today, I promise updated photos later.
