I remember hearing this about certain breeds of dogs, years ago, about takig dogs into thick forests to hunt, that their tails can be hurt by all the sticks and thorns....I think I heard somewhere that in certain cases the tail docking isn't just cosmetic...something about dogs and breaking their tails...might not be true. Does that sound familiar to anyone?
But few pupdogs of Modern Today spend long hours thrashing their tails through thick forests of thorns and sticks.
Good for them! I wish all would follow that example.One county in the state of VA has just outlawed both these practices.
Some things really need to be in big red letters. No one could say it any better or any clearer.Dogs are supposed to have tails and ears!
