Dude, the tail is a bone. No bone = No tail.

That being said I would not support the banning of tail docking because I do believe there are legitimate reasons to dock a tail for certain working dogs. For example, if my Boxer/Mastiff had a tail proportionate to his body he would be too long to pull a cart without elongating the poles, which would throw off the balance point that keeps the weight off his back and shoulders.

And THAT being said, if I would've had a choice I would not have docked his tail.
