I would like to ask you and other breeders that are so adamantly against tail docking, why do you do it? You say you cannot sell your puppies unless you have it done so why do you participate in something you cannot stand to have done yourself, just to be able to sell your puppy yet you are so adamantly against the practice? There appears to be, based on this post, a large number of people who want puppies with long tails, or a preferance for a long tail, yet you say you cannot sell your puppy unless you do this. I find this very contradicting, and I do not understand it. If you are for something you do it, and if you are against something you take a stance on it. Otherwise, you are telling me that you are willing to be part of the problem to make a profit on it, but you really do not agree with or like the very product you are producing.
