TOTALLY agree!!
They do look better without but cutting a dogs tail off to make it look better is bollox...
switzerland made it illegal to cut tails / ears several years back, maybe for once the UK should learn from others ??
i dissagree with cutting anything off for ANY reason.
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.
well said mate
,a breeder and police dog trainer for thirty years told me it does not harm the dog in any way,he used to use the elastic band method,before 3 days of age .....totally harmless to the dog
but then again to these whom say its wrong,what does he know????
they think they use a butchers knife the way they go on
but phil your method of three months must be painfull as then the tail has muscle tissue surely??
and your quote of big dogs around small kids is a joke,i and my brothers and sisters since we where babies where brought up around dogs,mastiffs,rotts,g.shepards,dobermanns,argentin os and many more
