Agreed!!

I am very happy docking has been banned as far as pets are concerned. I cannot comment on working dogs as I dont know enough to have much of a view on this. It seems that there may be very good reason for docking the working ones.

Otherwise for pets whats the point of mutilating them? Tails are important for balance and socialisation (effective communication with fellow dogs), which is a particularly important thing for breeds like rottie I would think.
I am delighted that rotties are gonna get their tail back LOL and I will one day get one with a full tail, which is how they should always have been (as pets)!!
And as it has been pointed out; those that dont like the look of it; well tough! lol
