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. | |

| Anyone have a picture of one without the tail being docked? I dont recall ever seeing one and would like to see what they look like with long tails. Sounds pretty to me. Would someone please share their picture of one with a long tail ?

| I see the way this is flowing and still I am going to say that I prefer the docked tails. Opinions were asked for and this is mine. I have nothing against the long tails. |

| If you mean me, yes, I had the tail docked....she was in my litter. I truly don't want to sound like a hyprocrit (sp?), but I dread that day. They are just fine afterward, but I am a mess....sick, worried, parranoid...ready to rush back to the vets in a heartbeat. I get the tails and dew claws done at 3 days old. Aftter this 3rd day has ended, I breath easier and enjoy these new little lives. The first 3 days I sleep very little for many reasons (pups do not produce enough body heat to keep them warm if seperated, mothers will not rescue a pup tangled in long hair or stuck under a blanket or even her for that matter, and every little squeak has me running to make sure everything is just fine). And if it is my little girl you are talking about being cute, thank you VERY much! |

| Hipocrit (I dont know if Ive spelt that correct either!!!) Only joking! It just seems so damn cruel,but each to their own. Anyway,Id be breaking a law if I did it so I can sleep at night without the worry. You bought up another good point,dew claws. Neither of mine have had theirs removed and Ive heard that should be done however the vets have not mentioned anything to us when we have been. Is it a problem they havnt had them removed? |

| Well, first, I think we are both spelling it incorrectly . I don't get the tails docked because of a danger to them. However, that is the reason for getting the dew claws removed. If those darned dangly little things get injured, it is extremely painful to the dog. Your vet won't say anything about them not being done unless there is an injury. Some are left on on purpose for agility training. |
