        I’m not saying whether I approve of cropping the tail or not, as I have mixed opinions on that.

        But have you ever seen a large dog carelessly wag it’s huge long tail, smacking, knocking over, and damaging practically everything around?

        There are reasons for some things like that.

        No reason that I know of for cropping the ears though ☹️

          You’ll be delighted to know all major veterinary organizations oppose tail docking and ear cropping. No need to ride the fence anymore.

          Of course, owning a dog like that is a choice. One could just as well own a small dog that doesn’t wreck everything. If you can’t handle a big, high energy dog, then you probably shouldn’t have one. Chopping its tail off is cruel and unnecessary.
