I don't own any dogs with docked tails. If a docking job is done it should be done when the puppy is only 2-3 days old. Done properly by a vet. I don't think there's anything wrong with it. No one should ever atempt it with their own dog! That would be cruel! I have nothing against it IF it's done properly.

I'm starting to see some breeds in the conformation ring with natural tails. I keep running into a handler and a rottie with a tail. I've seen a couple boxers too. I don't pay much attention to the smaller breeds.


(Just a quick lil story. When Houston's breeder and I took the pups to the vet to get their dew claws removed the vet played a nasty trick on the breeder. We brought the puppies out and he said "the tail dockings went very well!" I thought the breeder was gonna scream.LOL could you imagin a whole litter of docked Siberian Huskies?!)
