A dog uses its tail for balance.
I have heard arguments in the past regarding working dogs can get their tails caught. Lets take a look at some of the original working breeds: -
Rottweilers Guarding/Security the type of work is similar to the Akita.
Dobermann, Guarding/Security the type of work is similar to the GSD.
Spaniels, Gundogs the type of work is similar to Golden Retrievers.
JRT, ratting/small mammal hunting type of work is similar to Dachshunds.
I love to see a happy waggy tail.
Where is your argument? I've already ducked

Sue, if you read through the posts and look at the pics, I think you will see where the pro-dockers arguements are coming from. I don't work in the field with gundogs, so I don't think I have a right to an opinion, neither do I own any breeds that would have been docked.
