Why amputate the poor dogs' tails at all? Because of the looks? Why not just leave tails alone - longer handle that way. Why do people have to fool around with mother nature at all? I hate the idea of cutting off parts of animals just because of fashion dictates. Just as I hate the idea of circumcision just because everyone does it. Just my two cents' worth. Anneliese
