I can tell you from hands on experience. I imported one and had her tail docked, it is a FULL surgery, I did it so she could be shown here. She was in the ring within 3 weeks or so. However, she did not make the cut, my handler evaluated her and chose a female from my own breeding (Blu)to show over her. She is a spayed pet now.
I now can also speak from experience from owning one with a full tail that was also an import. The problem/fear I have for him is, the pups want to pull him around by his tail.
So I have to really watch Darcy, she is a really playful girl and I am afraid she could break his tail. So, when she is out, I put him up and he gladly comes running for me to put him up.
