| Orville, I also have to disagree with your opinion on tails. And I do like the look of the docked tail, but tails do help with balance and movement. I had GSDs years ago when they were built more like Rotties, before the angulation craze started, and you could watch them use their tails just like rudders in cornering. I also believe that many croup faults are hidden because with a docked tail we do not see the extension of the croup. All the dogs you see in the ring today with tails sticking up, which is not correct, would have gay tails if their tails were present.
