What kind of dogs need their tail cut off?
No dogs need their entire tails removed, except in the case of serious injury. Some Australian shepherds are born with very short tails, but no dogs are born without tails. It used to be fashionable for certain dogs, such as Doberman pinchers, Brittanies, boxers, Pembroke corgis and others, to have their tails docked, or drastically shortened. Today, the AKC frowns on this practice and encourages dog owners and breeders not to dock their animals' tails, as the procedure causes unnecessary pain and fear for the pooch. Some hunting and sporting dogs, such as pointers, Weimaraners and spaniels, may need to have their tails docked for their own good if they are being used for hunting in wooded areas. These animals are prone to having their thin, whip-like tails broken as they run and weave through brushy and forested areas.

Why do some people cut the tails off dogs because it sounds mean?
Dogs use their tails to communicate to each other.Some dogs injure their tails and need to have them amputated. In those cases, the amputation can be done under anesthesia, like any other surgery.Some people cut the tails off puppies for cosmetic reasons (or to meet "breed standards.") If performed without anesthesia, amputation is extremely painful regardless of the age of the puppy or dog. It is cruel to amputate dogs' tails without anesthesia. Even with anesthesia, amputating dogs' tails for cosmetic purposes or "breed standards" is unnecessary surgery.However, don't rush to judge someone you see walking a dog with an amputated tail or cropped ears. The person may have rescued the dog from a shelter after the amputation was performed.

Why do dogs tails need to be docked?
AnswerYou can blame it on breeders and dogs being in Show. When dogs are bred for Show there are requirements of certain breeds whether the dog was born that way or not. There are some breeds of dogs that are born with stubby tails.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------It is not just a show thing for several breeds of dog. The docking of a tale in some species of dog, especially work dogs but also for some breeds of house dogs, can prevent medical problems such as infection and necrosis in the dogs adult life. Some dogs are prone to injuring their tales, which takes a long time to heal. This can lead to infection, pain, and death of tissue in the dogs tail, requiring surgery. Even with surgery, an adult dog (or most dogs over a few days old) have a slower healing time, increased stress levels due to the procedure, and a risk of infection which may even lead to the death of the animal. Before taking an anti-docking stance, I would suggest researching more into the reasons behind it. It is often a preventative measure to ensure less medical problems in the adult dog.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------There are a number of historical reasons for tail docking which have nothing to do with dog showing. See the link below for more information.
