No a cruel dog owner is one who gets a tail docked then proceeds to use whats left to pull the poor beggers from rabbit holes ect....

You should have told them it was cruel they didn't have a brain

Unbelievable!

arrgh arnt people strange!
you cant win.cruel for not docking? i always say to people you dont amputate a builders thumb incase it gets hit by a hammer do you?

Well, I have to say, I would have found it hard to be polite to them! Whats it got to do with them in the first place?! I think its great that docking tails is banned in the UK, its not here, and I as you know have a docked Boxer, wish she had a tail, nothing nicer than seeing a dogs tail wag! even if it does hurt or knock things over!! have heard and read conflicting stories about why yhe tails are docked, anyone know the real reason?

When it comes to dogs, ignorance know no limit.

I'd of asked.....have you had your old man docked too.......it's cruel if you've left him with a tail, he'll get probs later in life.......then I would of walked on

my old dog(bless im hes no longer with me ) had a spinal injury and had to learn to walk again.his tailed helped him so much,i do believe if he hadnt had his tail he wouldnt have walked again.

what an idiot! i hate tail docking, if dogs were meant to not have a tail, they would be born like that. i think its good that he doesnt have a docked tail. just ignore her, she's obviously not a nice person if she thinks its ok to say that to someone.

Tut, tut. Shame on you for having a happy dog with a happy waggy tail. You are obviously not fit to have a dog Not to mention future health problems that all the happy wagging may cause
