I have 2 Aussie Shepherds that were docked when I got them. I am a foster mom for the Aussie rescue group, I keep my fosters, so no more right now
The docking of tails and removal of dewclaws are for solid medical reasons. I have a link I will put up at the bottom if you want to learn more about it.
They now offer fake "balls" for neutered dogs. Now that is just stupid!
