Why Dogs Tails are Docked!

[whatdidyousay!]

I think Sallylou still lives in Houston....It would be almost cruel not to shave a dog in that heat.

I always heard they docked the tails on small dogs because the tail could cause back problems. That could be totally false though. I always left the tails on.

It depend on what kind of dog it is. I had a Samoyed and moved to Cail. with her and she was fine during the long summers and I never shaved or cut her fur.



The Great Shave Debate

Lol, vibrating rear end indeed. In substitution of wagging a full-fledge tail, our docked dogs compensate with their butts. I call my dog "wiggle butt" when she does this happy dance.

My granddog had a nice long tail and when she was happy to see me she wag her tail and it would bang against the stove! I miss hearing this when I go to my daughter's house now. Ally was a sweet dog and loved to have me rub her cute little wiggly butt , I miss that cute little wiggly butt as it was the first think she did when I got there ,she wanted me rub her butt!
