    I’m not saying whether I approve of cropping the tail or not, as I have mixed opinions on that.

    But have you ever seen a large dog carelessly wag it’s huge long tail, smacking, knocking over, and damaging practically everything around?

    There are reasons for some things like that.

    No reason that I know of for cropping the ears though ☹️

      Of course, owning a dog like that is a choice. One could just as well own a small dog that doesn’t wreck everything. If you can’t handle a big, high energy dog, then you probably shouldn’t have one. Chopping its tail off is cruel and unnecessary.

      You’ll be delighted to know all major veterinary organizations oppose tail docking and ear cropping. No need to ride the fence anymore.
