The boxer tail is long, thin and whip like. Their tendencies to break it while wagging is greatly increased if left undocked. If you've ever seen a boxer then you have seen their trademark "happy tail" and you could imagine the damage that tail would do if it were long.

Pit Bulls tails should not be cut. Most recommend leaving them long.

They are cut purely for aesthetic reasons and the vanity of their owners. Some owners believe that it improves the dogs look. Unless there is a medical reason they should not be cut or docked.

The main reason for docking the Boxer's tail is for showing. It is a cosmetic amputation and serves no real purpose other than to prevent tail injuries. Supporters of the operation claim that, as Boxer's are prone to tail injuries, docking the tail at birth is much more humane.
