The only thing cruel and unusual about tail docking is if you are doing it yourself.
There is nothing wrong with docking a dog's tail. In fact adult dogs of all breed get their tails docked when they have an accident in the tail appendage it gets cut off.
My yorkie has a docked tail and it is so cute when she is happy she waves it like crazy.
It is a harmless procedure there is nothing cruel about it, build a bridge and get over it.
