I don't like people docking or do anything with the dogs tails or ears. They were born the way they are and that's how they should be left. It gives them mor personality and differences between other animals. Why Dock tails?? It gives them a look sorta like. I mean, what if someone just came and cut off all of your hair, or made your ears stick out more??? I love doggie tails and would never want a dog's tail chopped off, I see no reason for it.
