Waldfrieden no longer docks tails on its puppies.
We do however, retain some dogs in our program that are natural bobs, for people who prefer the traditional look of an Aussie. We simply could not continue to remove body parts on new born pups , who clearly suffered greatly, even when the procedure was done by a veterinarian. We wonder how it is that the AKC promotes such a barbaric procedure for the sake of stubbornly maintaining their breed standard. The rest of the world has made docking and dew claw removal illegal for good reason. We would like to share the following article with regards to tail docking.
