Someone on here told me once that the tails break easily, and that is why they get docked sometimes.
-O | It's going to be hard for you to find a puppy from a reputable breeder in the US that won't dock tails as almost all will follow the AKC standard. You might have to buy one from out of the country. Docking tails is not cruel if done right.

Educate yourself and buy from reputable breeders or rescue.
