Excuse me but there are breeders and then there are breeders. Many years long time reputable show breeders are not just breeders. They are totally immersed in the breed and often know way more than many Vets do about their particular breed.
I never said anything about all dogs should have their tails docked I don't believe they should
You obviously have not read the article as to how the tails are injured and it isn't by shutting a door on the tail. Quite frankly I don't care what England wants to do or not do with their dogs.
I do know I would fight it if someone stuck their nose in our business here in Canada or the US and tried to tell us we could not dock tails.
JMHO which I am entitled to as you are to yours.
