you disagree because you havent got a fookin clue what your talking about.

you have not had to deal with the aftermath of a working dogs injured tail, which can and does very often result in amputation.

amputation of a tail in an adult dog is extremely painfull and distressing for the dog and should be avoided if at all possible. tail docking at three days of age is the way to avoid this. at this age the tail is nothing but a bit of grisle and causes the pup the minimum of discomfort. but as per norm in this country the do gooders know best.
