its painfull for the pup, it has no advantages in pet dogs, its only done to satisfy the human selfishness and eye for fashion (and yes, i do believe those who dock pet dogs are just the same as those who breed dogs for fashion) and i believe its not the best first experience in such a short life, the dog has no choice (and im sure if it would have it would say "no") ...that might be a few of the reasons .... and im sure there are more reasons
also it can cause future discomfort for the dog and other problems
