Bully Breed Tail Docking
Tail
Docking: Tail docking does still serve a
purpose in our modern day. In some countries and even some
areas of the United States tail docking is frowned upon by some
or even banned. We believe that in some breeds such as
some of the working/hunting breeds and breeds with slender tails
it is best to dock their tails shortly after birth. We
have learned first hand that a Boxer with a full tail is not
only likely to inflict pain to humans and other animals with
it's whip like tail but also is prone to tail damage. Our
tailed Boxer Loki has experienced multiple injuries to his tail
and it is difficult to get it to heal before he reinjures it
again. We do dock the tails on our Boxers and our pups
with 50% or more boxer genetics. Our American Bulldogs,
Porterfield Bulldogges and
some of our other Bully Hybrids have heavier tails, we do not see
a need to dock them. |
