While I see a practical reason for docking the tail, I can't say the same for cropping ears. If you've ever seen how long an undocked dobe's tail is, you know that it can clear a coffee table with one swipe.

Ears on the other hand are more a cosmetic/vanity thing than anything else, at least imo.

"I have gotten kinda nervous to say anything these days, cause i have noticed sometimes people think its their opinion that counts and no one elses, and if you disagree then your a bad person."

Without getting political, I think that is a _major_ problem in America these days. People seem to have forgotten that honorable people can disagree without being disagreeable. Just because someone doesn't agree with my opinion doesn't make them a bad person, it just makes them wrong. (if I used smiley faces, I'd put one here. Being a Usenet veteran I usually use a <g>, which means I'm grinning, as in joking)

Your point is well taken and I agree with what you said. As long as no one here criticises me for leaving Karma's ears natural, I won't criticise them for cropping. I have my reasons for leaving them natural as I'm sure others have their reasons for cropping them. That being said, I would have a _large_ problem if laws were passed here in the U.S. to prevent docking/cropping.
