Tail docking has reared it's nasty head again.
There was a long thread about this not so long ago...
I think Tail Docking is completley wrong for cosmetic reasons...someone in the last thread said their boxer's tail was so long it swipped things off the side my reply, move them!! You wouldn't leave out china plates in reach of child would you...?

I do agree with the majority though that working spaniels and such like should have their tails docked as puppies to prevent injury.

It is hard for ppl to follow the law tho when there are down and out liars out there who will take their pups for docking and say it is for working reasons, personally i don't know how these ppl can live with themselves. It's a simiular case when a 'white' coated dog is culled because of its coat colour and ridgebacks for not having a ridge, yet the ones with are acutally the deformed ones.....i find it disgusting!! Personally unless you want a working dog always buy a dog with a tail!!! Rescue is a different matter - the dog is already like it and is in need of a home you are not funding the illegal dockers...and that is all.

Please note this is just MY opinion.
