Following up on this issue (what a great post btw), a good number of American dogs were unable to compete at the world dog show (FCI) last year because they were of the ear cropping/docking vein. We did have a lovely Aussie there though. They come naturally with bobbed tails!
Fem - there is a movement all over the country to limit or bann dog breeding all together and as I am sure the posters to this thread know, there's a movment to make the dog fancy a thing of the past - all together.
Hey, have you heard that some judges in the U.S. wont put up a dog if its tail is docked too long? Forgive my nievity, but I thought judges were supposed to look past that?
