Well, I am doing some practical work in the vet clinics, for vet school, and one practice I dislike is ear cropping and tail docking.
Yes, the AKC does require this for certain breeds but I see nothing wrong with boxer and great dane ears being natural or having long tailed rottwieliers and dobermans. I like to own a australian shepherd or a bouvier but I wopuldn’t want to support a breeder who tail docks. Is it possible to get a rottie or dobe or bouv without a dock tail?
