Easy, i just give them a field sobriety test .

Yes, it does sound like your Thor has a tail cropped too close. The standard calls for a tail to be cut to a medium length and carried slightly above the level of the back. I wonder how many folks' (that are against cropping) opinions are shaped by dogs with a bad crop. My Caty has a bad crop and I call her my little 'tic-toc girl' because of the way her nub wags.
