Arrghhh...that's the thing isn't it, it's a dog, so it's OK to debollock them, sterilize them, or do anything else that makes it more convenient for us to have them around.

let's be clear here. these are for the male owners, not for the dogs at all. I always ask people at the puppy park why their male dogs are not nuetered, and get some surprising answers. yesterday a guy told me he wished his dog could have a vasectomy
. they simply do not understand how much happier the dogs as well as themselves would be once nuetered.

What is your opinion about the breeds that normally get their tails clipped?

(as well as ears) some places are starting to make this illegal. draft horses traditionally have their tales cropped, and more and more states are stopping this procedure. as for the dogs, pressure needs to be put on the breed regestries as well as the various Kennel Clubs to not only drop that as a standard, but make it officially against the rules
