I was never happier than when they banned docking here (I'm that sad and pathetic I am being literal here btw!).
my little Toby had a docked tail, and they were docked shorter here than US, and his had been done so short he could hardly even make his little wagger go when he was happy- until he was 5 he never even put much effort into trying- until he saw kuki using her wagger!

I would love to some day buy a puppy from US (and fly over to get her- an excuse for a holiday!) but it will hopefully be after the days of docking are over, although a medium-docked does still look lovely, but I couldn't show her... But at least it seems to work like a wagger should!!
