Yorkie chi isn't docked - but she doesn't need to be standard since she is a mutt! I love her fluffly tail.
IMHO - Our governments need to spend their time and energy on more important matters than whether we dock or don't dock our dogs' tails. Docked or undocked tails don't effect the environment, world peace or poverty. |
I wouldn't say ANY breed of dogs NATURAL Tail is ugly
If dogs were not meant to have a Tail it would have been eliminated through Genetic manipulation through many generations..
I have seen RSPCA photographs of dead puppies that have died from infection due to inexperienced breeders docking their own puppies (obviously trying to avoid the vet fee) it is heartbreaking...even OLDER dogs with infected stumps where the owner/breeder has decided too late that they want to dock the dogs tail after all..people see these breeds being shown at the dog shows with docked tails so they want that 'look' with their own dog...once people see these breeds winning the top prizes with UNDOCKED tail the better..my honest opinion everyone
