The Tail Docking Debate....
Kip, 14 weeks old with a very straight undocked tail.
We are still on the fence in the debate of tail docking. I have
had litters that I docked half of the litter and left the others with a natural tail and I have not seen any difference regarding health, vigor, or development docked or natural. I do have adult poodles who are docked and some with natural tails, most natural tails curl over the back, it will take many generations to correct this since we have docked for many generations in the USA. Docking is banned in most European Countries.
