Best Answer

Tail docking involves the removal of the Dog's tail, which is permanent and does not grow back. Although supporters of this operation claim that the puppy hardly feels it, there is sufficient evidence to suggest that docking causes severe and lingering pain. Studies have also shown that docked tails are more sensitive to pain when the Dog matures. Docking the tail means that the Dog loses a form of communication as the tail expresses body language to other Dogs. The effects of docking are permanent.
