Re: Ear Cropping?

I hate ear cropping and I dont think it adds any desirability to the over-all look of a dog

tail docking is banned, but some dogs (working breeds) can still have them docked but only if they are meant to be working dogs!

i think tail docking should be banned for all dogs altogether!
