You ought to think before making a comment. As we are keeping dogs as pets indoors they have less space to wag their tails and by hitting furniture they will actually end up with fractures and infections as a result. I used to have a Doberman with a docked tail and one with long tail. was never out of the vets with the long tailed one. same goes for ears.

However it should be performed by a vet in my opinion, and  as goes for Ireland, regulation and monitoring of breeders is far more important.
