I used to prefer the look of a docked tail on a poodle.
At the same time I believe that like so many other things we do to dogs,it is done strictly for the benefit of us humans.
It does nothing whatsoever for the dog.
You are essentially cutting off the end of a pup's spine.
They use their tail to navigate.
As time goes on the look of a full,glorious,natural tail on a poodle is really growing on me.
I hope,that North America will join the rest of the world and put a ban on any animal mutilation.
