Re: Born without a tail...

I really don't know if this is true or not but I have read in some old Rottweiler books and have been told by some "old timers" that the practice of docking tails was started because "back in the day" when some breeds were being developed and refined, dogs/bitches that were born tailless were highly sought after.
Don't ask me why, I don't know--maybe people liked the look.
Again, I don't know if it is true but I have seen it in print and been told this.
