I in no way have decided to not dock the puppies I put up for adoption, unless AKC changed the standard. But for me personally I really don't know how I feel? |
IMO, if I were checking out breeders I would be looking for more important things than whether or not their
own dogs had docked tails. Afterall, they are all bred with tails.

The fact that, for now, you're planning on docking pups to standard, should resolve any questions. I can't imagine why it would be an issue for anyone.
