Regarding Vi Co Bi's comment, "Honey, with a Doberman, you're probably going to hear how "odd" your dog looks if you don't crop its ears and dock its tail,", which garnered a few responses:

I think her point, as well, was that one shouldn't care what other people think. The rest of her post would indicate it.

My parents have a Corgi with a cropped tail (done before they got her); she tries chasing it as well. Of course, Corgis are so long and low to the ground that she usually falls on her side after a couple of rotations. A ridiculous picture, at best.
