IMO, absolutely nothing wrong with letting them keep their god-given tails!!!
I also don't buy into the injury prevention theory for docking tails. If that were the case, why don't they dock Bichons, Maltese, Shih Tzu , Lab.... etc? jmo |
I don't believe the risk to tail injury is any greater than any type of other injury a dog can get... broken leg, cut paw, hurt ear, scratched nose, the list goes on. So just because the dog has a chance to break his leg, we should just cut off the leg... to prevent it? How does that make sense? To me, it's the same logic with tail docking. Just a pointless procedure to suit the needs of a human when it comes to cosmetics... I'm not saying it's wrong to prefer one look or the other, but it just seems kind of silly to me.
