I have a question regarding tail docking, or , more specifically, not docking.

My Tashi doesn't have her tail docked, and it's honestly one of my favorite features about her. It's fluffy and waggy and she lops me in the face with it most mornings :P

If an excellent home came to you and you had an upcoming litter, the person either put down a deposit or paid in full but asked you if it would be possible to not dock a tail, would you do it?

I understand that if the dog were to be in any way a show dog this wouldn't make sense, but for a pet, would you consider it?

ETA: I apologize if this is a sensitive issue or a topic of heated debate. If it is, feel free to close or delete my thread. I am just curious and I searched tail-docking in this sub-topic and didn't find an answer.
