Tail Docking.....?

Question

What breeds are commonly docked? What breeds are docked that most people wouldn't know of?

i think most people are familiar w/the docking of Dobermans, Boston Terriers, Boxers, etc.

but what are some other breeds that are docked that other people may not be aware of.

Answer 1

<<<------ Australian Shepherds are docked.

It's common for Working or Herding breeds to be docked and not just for asthetics - It's so when they're herding or working, their tails don't get caught and broken, bit or ripped off.

It's not cruel if done by a trained professional when the pup is no older than 3 days.

Answer 5

Some people dock the tails of their Pits so that people won't steal them and use them for fighting. A docked tail in a Pit makes for a dog that is off balance in it's footing.

(I have known many Pits with docked tails b/c many, many people in my city have their Pitties stolen for these purposes, sad, I know.)

Rat Terriers too.. (well, now that I think of it, most terriers do.)
