Mental pooch [with video (can anyone help? {with editing})]

[elroberto]

Did you have it's tail docked?

What exactly is wrong with that? Have you seen how much pain they get in if their tail spilts? Which anyone who's seen a boxer would know to be a likely occurence with the way they charge about the place. It's not just a cosmetic thing but has practical purposes too.

Not really mental pooch, dogs like to attach stuff like that, kind of like cats like to bat hanging down things with their paws. My dog used to swing from a rope swing like that one.

Did you have it's tail docked?

It was done by the breeder, which is still allowed.

 

[elroberto]

I thought there was a ban placed on it in the last year or two?

 

[Gilly]

Only by the vet IIRC.

Rocky was a month before the ban came into place anyway, but yeah there was a legislation change.

 

[elroberto]

What a daft rule, surely it would be better for a vet do it than a breeder.

 

[Gilly]

Yeah you'd think so.
