* Tail docking is a painful and unnecessary procedure. It's often done for cosmetic reasons, but there's no health benefit and it can cause pain, infection, and long-term behavioral problems for the dog.
* Rat Terriers are known for their long, wagging tails. This is part of their natural body language and helps them communicate with others.
* There's no ethical justification for tail docking. Many countries and organizations have banned the practice, recognizing its cruelty.
If you're concerned about your Rat Terrier's tail, consult a veterinarian. They can determine if there's any medical reason for concern.
Remember, every dog deserves to have their natural tail intact!
