Tail bobbing (or docking) started in 1796 but was banned in 2007 in the UK. The practice started because it was cheaper to own a docked dog (dog's with natural tails cost more money to keep because of taxes). Of course this no longer applies and today the operation is performed for cosmetic purposes.
