Do you have any actual proof that the ones with ridges are deformed

Basically I agree with mose here, I've seen working dogs with split tails, having to have the vets work on them, being out of action for a while with a funnel on thier head to stop them getting at stitches. Not pleasant for dog or owner.
But docking for the sake of docking is wrong. It does lead to seeing some odd looking dogs (in comparison to my childhood image of some breeds)
