I think that is the dumbest reasoning, lol. No offense to you personally -- I just have never had any sanitary issues with Jackson having a full tail. If that were the case, ALL breeds of dogs would have docked tails. Most dogs have tails and no dog I've ever known in my whole life has ever had an issue because of HAVING a tail.
I'm not "against" docking per say. I just don't like it. I
would own a dog with a docked tail, so it's nothing like that. I think the little nubs are cute.
I just find the procedure totally POINTLESS. Simply to appease what humans think looks better or cuter. Stupid reason to chop off a dogs tail in my opinion. And I do understand it's a standard so I do see why AKC breeders do it but that still doesn't make me think it's not stupid.
