dock every one of them last night my buddies dog loaded up in the pick up tail threw dirt in my eye ive had dogs in pick up have crap on the tail and fling it on me ide just assume to dock them all we've sit down on the ground why we were hunting da*n dog slap u in the eye with his tail. I wish everybody would dock all there puppies tails I do. I vote dock em and get everybody else to too.

I had just as soon one of mine get snake bit as to have a tail cut off.

DOCK!!!!

I always prefer my mountain curs to be docked ............oooops wait a minute ......just saw this was about bmc.  :laugh:

Scratch that. ;)

;D

I have learned to hate tails. I am tired of them banging them on kennel and bleeding also getting slapped in the face. Lol.   I have both but have to admit Bobtails are easier to manage.

Lol,it doesn't hinder their speed/agility ?

 on average, Nope.
there is contrversy asto bobbing after they learn to walk bc it messes their balance up, but there are also confirmations to older dogs having to have the tail removed or part of it removed bc of injury and they never knew it was missing.
iv also heard speculation that it may hurt them physicaly though if they are bobbed to close to the spine.
its just dealer choice.

I hate a dog tail lol. I just don't dock my catch dogs. Mainly bc their ears are clipped. But that will probably change soon

They keep what they are born with. If they did not need them then they would be born without them. For all those that are getting slapped in their face with their dogs tails maybe you need to keep your face from their backends!!!! ;D

They are born with tails why should I chop it off!! For all those of u inconvenienced by your dogs tails...let's randomly remove parts of ur anatomy that ur not using!! See how u like it!!! My dogs tails are staying put!!! ;D

Not to be a smart@ss but what does clipping ears have to do with docking tails?

Dock 'em all!!!  Cannot STAND a tail, next catch dog I raise is gonna be bobbed as well

x2 lol

I do not perfer one or the other other i have had dogs with both. I do no this when your short handed of people help tails make a real good place to grap when your trying to get your dogs off a hog.

So Jeremy what do you do if it is a natural bobtail? I own dogs with both bob tails and long tails. I have young pup that keeps bleeding from it beating her tail on the fence. She is a high energy dog that runs the kennel baying my cows ALL Day.

like u just said NATURAL BOBTAIL which means it is not DOCKED right ?

If they are born that way fine..I once owned a natural bobtailed dog! Or if its a problem that's fine!! Just don't see the need to alter a dogs appearance by cutting off tails and ears cause it looks "cool"!

.  No it doesn't render their speed or agility. If they were running at 60 mph like a cheetah then yes it would cuz they have to make extremely sharp turns at high speeds but I highly doubt there are any strike dogs running anywhere close to that lol :laugh:

I like docked and natural bobbed tails on a dog. The bloody tail is the main reason! Some dogs it even looks good, I had a mountain cur gyp and she looked great with hers and it was a half bob natural. But I'm not going out of my way to bob tails on pups unless the buyers request it when they want to buy a pup.

this is america cut them off if u want too.i guess some folks would be against circumcision also...lol

  !!!!!! OUCH !!!!!!!! lol  i just docked a whole litter of treeing cur pups a couple weeks ago , just more or less an eye apeal thing to the squirrel hunters. but they are a funny lot they WANT dew claws and no tails.  all my life i wanted tails and no dew claws   lol . .   

i like my dogs to have a tail so i can kinda tell what their thinkin from a long ways off .

i was saying i let my catch dogs keep their tails bc i have already had their ears clipped. so i dont take both its either or
