I just wish people would admit it's for cosmetic reasons. Show dogs for example do not have a high chance of winning in the ring in the US if they have a full tail. It's allowed but often judges won't choose them as the best of breed etc. It's all politics.

I LOVE how Jackson uses his tail to swim! He uses it as a propeller! Lola, my cockapoo, has a docked tail and she always starts "sinking" more in her butt area and I think it's from her lack of a tail.

Joey uses his like that too lol
