Don't get me wrong, I am not totally against it, but I am just tired of people thinking that if a tail isn't cropped, then they are not a TRUE whatever (eg:rottie). A rottie or Dobbie is still a rottie or Dobbie weather the tail is cropped or not. They just are not considered "show quality". If it is done when it should be, then ok but I still think it would hurt a whole lot. And I don't think I could handle hearing a pup scream in pain, just because their tail is being chopped off.

I think I have mixed feelings about this subject. I like my dogs with short stubs, but I don't like how it is done or the reason it is done.
