Ok i am all for why the docking laws came into effect, don't get me wrong. But don't you guys find it weird to see breeds which used to have their tails docked, now with tails?

for example yesterday i saw a rottie, a very cute adorable rottie, and it had a tail and i at first wasn't sure if that was a rottie but when i got a closer look it was def a rottie and the owner of the dog confirmed it. It just seems weird now to see all these dogs ie rottweilers, boxers, cocker spaniels with tails! But its still very nice to see these beautiful dogs, with or without their tails

It does sometimes make you do a double take
I love seeing all the waggy tails now

I think they look gorgeous with tails. I love Ollie with his tail, and I've seen rotties and boxers with tails, and they look so much better. It's great for dogs to see what the tail of the other dog is saying to them. I wouldn't get an undocked dog now. When we were looking for a cocker spaniel, we were specially looking for undocked puppies and it was hard work, but we found him. Nowadays, it's slightly easier because it was a few years ago that it became illegal.

I don't find it weird.
I think that docking a dog for no good reason was a barbaric mutilation.
I love to see them as they should be, using their tails to communicate their pleasure is one of the nicest doggy traits

I dont find it wierd either! I love dogs with big waggy tails!

I actually look twice now if i see a young pet (not working) dog with docked tails!

I love seeing them with tails !
It's great at shows when you see all the puppies in the ring with their waggy tails . Too cutee ! Nicole xx

I LOVE it....think it's great and it's one of the best things that passed for these dogs.....taking away their tails....it's like taking away our smiles...so I'm soooo pleased they get to keep them now....every time I see one of these pooches with a tail I have a grin from ear to ear

yeah it is weird, but nice at the same time! my terrier has a docked tail, but i didn't specifically go out looking for a dog with a docked tail - i didn't realise it was actually illegal at the time, and was quite horrified when i found out at the vets. but i wouldn't change him for the world, hes such a wiggly waggy dog he has plenty of waggy ways to express his emotions, even without a full tail its surprising how many puppies are available with docked tails mind.

I do think rotty look odd with a full tail, but its partly as i'm so used to seeimg them docked. im sure in a few years when its a lot more common then we'll be having double takes at seeing them with docked tails instead!

I think it's about time we saw more tailage. So many of them have such lovely ones. Like schnauzers all curly and fluffy. What is weird when you go to places where they still crop ears - they look terrible (IMO).
