And why, exactly, would the tail have to be "ugly"? I've
seen 2 Welsh springers and a Fieldie with their tails
intact and they were adorable. They grow a nice flag just
like little setters. At least with the Sporting breeds, I
believe that tail docking is mostly about tradition.
Otherwise, ALL of them would be docked. I've had English
setters who've bloodied their tails just from happily
banging them against stuff day and night, so I know what
I'm talking about. A bloodied tail is a difficult problem
to deal with when it happens. Even so, it still wouldn't
get me to cut off my dogs' tails to prevent it. :/
All the above said, I prefer to have the freedom of choice
whether or not to dock a dog or do any other medical
procedure. I don't need no stinkin' politician telling me
what is best for me and my family members... dogs
included! And that is exactly the point of why this is NOT
such a happy day for Scottish dogs.
