Dogs Au Natural--Uncropped, undocked!

    • Gold Top Dog
    I was watching a rerun of Crufts over the weekend.  I saw the most adorable un-cropped eared Dobie.  I was so happy & he looked like a totally different breed.
     
    I love all the shots of our au naturale doggies.

    OMG Look at those Schipperkes with there gorgeous little CURLY TAILS!!!!

    And how sweet that rottweiler looks, not scary at all, just like a regular dog dog!

    One of the boxers has the sweetest little white tip on the end of her tail!

    HEY, I think I really like this not docking and cutting thing! I can see if a working dog needs it for safety reasons, but otherwise, FEH! I sure like they way they look just they way they were born. [:D]

    Here is Petro, one of my Great Danes, natural ears and dew claws intact...OH, and his foster friends.
     
    My goodness, in this post there are eight breeds represented, can you name them?

    Emma is docked (too short, ugh!), but three of her bestest buddies are two uncropped (but docked, because they came that way) Boxers, and an uncropped Pit. They're very handsome boys, and don't scare people nearly as much.

    Here's Prancer - mini poodle mix.   I love her feather duster tail !
     

     
    ps - daily wiping and a good premium soft food diet has eliminated the eye stains !  I need new pics :)  LOL

    I've got pictures at home of one of the first undocked Rotties in Canada. I saw him at the shows last fall and HAD to take pics. Don't have them here though. [&:]

    Also saw a few undocked Springers in the shows!

     
    I have friends in Madison that have undocked Rotties.  They breed occasionally and don't dock any of their pups.  It is currently illegal in Germany to dock Rotties.  They claim because it is unhumane (and I agree) but it actually goes back to Rotties getting a bad reputation and with their tails intact they are easier to "read"

    I wholeheartedly agree with you, and have a whole list of reasons why I do not support it. However, again, I myself have to keep in respect with the author's wishes and not discuss them here. [:)]
