I agree she looks amazing!

I know that one argument for docking is that hardley any dogs would have the correct tail, but at the end of the day, whats more importent, a dog that has the 'correct tail' or a healthy dog of sound temperment??

it another one of those difference in opinion things. i think as long as it is done properly at the correct age then i am not totally against it. I cant imagine a boxer with a tail or a rottie i have seen pics but not in real life. I just got a puppy that was happy and healthy and well reared if he was a breed with a docked tail and it had been done properly then i would not of had a problem. Max's tail never stops and i am sure he will injure it one day but i am glad he has it

Totally agree with you there Gem, that was what I was trying to say in my posts. And you put it so beautifully.
