I would not have the tail cropped. Phoebe (which is a rottie) had her tail cropped when we got her, but it wasn't done like they usually do it. It was cropped but left longer than "it should have been" as they say. I have been asked if I am getting it done so it is "proper". I just tell them ok, I will go get her tail cropped so it is "proper" if you let me chop off 1 of your fingers. Lets see how much pain that it.

I do not beleive in "tail cropping", it is a cruel and inhumane thing to do. I love Phoebe with the "improper" tail. I don't care that is what makes her unique.

People are into the "show" for thier pets, that they forget to love their pets...
