I love Rocky's full tail and his dewclaws aren't a problem at all.

I have read that a dog with a full tail has an easier time communicating with other dogs as the tail is used for communication - and a full tail helps the dogs read/show the signals better.
I have read that also about communication...a docked tail dog is more likely to be involved in a confrontation with another dog.
A dog with a high held wagging tail says to other canines..'Hello! i'm happy & friendly! come play with me!' lol
