I think a lot of puppy buyers are not even aware that their tails are cut off *shrug* I will let potential puppy buyers know that they will be natural so it won't be a shock.
You are 100% right there. A lot of people aren't even aware that poo tails are docked. I wasn't until about 4 years ago when my vet wanted to know if I knew " so and so the poodle breeder who shows her dogs" She said so and so had just been in to have a litter's tails docked. I was like, you dock a poodle tail?? The vet laughed at me, but there ya go, I learned something new.
In my area if a poodle has a natural tail (and this goes for cockers, schnauzers, dobes, and anything else you can think of that gets docked), everyone thinks it's a mix and not a purebred. We have a standard who's tail is natural and everyone thinks he's a labradoodle and will go as far as to argue with his owner about the fact.
I still stand by the dew claw thing though, it's as much for the dog's comfort as it is for the owners. You may not have had a problem, but then YOU probably pay loads of attention to you dogs and their physical condition on a daily bases. Most pet owners do not, which is why you get grown in dew claws. Alot of groomers assume that responsible breeders remove dewclaws and in my area at least a great many of those groomers forget to check for them and trim the nails.
I'm not sure how your dogs are using their dew claws either. Maybe you could explain? I have two in my house that have theirs and they don't use them, they can't. They are to high up for digging or climbing.
