Docking, How could you! :(

em excuse me but you're lying when you say dogs don't feel pain how would you know anyway and btw if yu docked ur dogs tail after april in 2007 then you cant enter ur dog in crufts or an other shows in the UK and if any1 out there is thinking about docking a dogs tail just for prettyness please don't do it bcos no1 really knows what it cos's in terms of pain and also if dogs were not supposed to have tails they wouldn't b born with any think about it !!!!!!!! and also it should be made illegal because for everyone who gets there dogs tail removed by a vet there are dozens of people who use a small elastic band, ouch! but fair enough if you buy a dog that has already bought the dog and yu didn't mean for it to be docked anywhere

To avoid tail damage. A number of working gundog breeds have to hunt game through heavy vegetation and thick brambles, where their fast tail action can easily lead to torn and bleeding tails which are painful and extremely difficult to treat. Docking the end of the tail eliminates the risk of injury. Working terriers are docked for the same reason. In addition, terriers which are bred to hunt below ground for purposes such as fox control, have their tails docked to a length which is more practical when working in a confined space. Since docking was banned in Sweden in 1989, there has been a massive increase in tail injuries amongst previously docked breeds. Within the 50 undocked Pointer litters registered in that year with the Swedish Kennel Club, 38% of dogs suffered tail injury before they were 18 months old and in 1991, the number of individuals with tail injures had increased to 51% of the group.

I didn't say they couldn't feel pain, I said apparently it doesn't hurt them..
