I know that silky breeders have been at it with the AKC for the past 5 years on the tail docking issue, and the answer from the AKC was if is not broken why change it, so nothing was done, but a few breeders were black balled according to them for speaking out, so now we are on the sidelines, also I have to say that I had a litter non docked and people would not pay me the same ammount of money for them as they do for the docked ones.. so the public has a lot to do with this decission too..
I find that the people here are a lot more conservative when it comes to the welfare of the babies that is why I stick around, I like that, unfortunately the rest of America differs a bit...
