On the flip side my rescue who always had her tail, had to have it amputated several years ago. Something bit it so badly (husband left the door open and they were loose all night) it couldn't be saved. It really changed the way she looks.

Dont forget, often a tail has to be removed for reasons other than just looks. Pits, Rots, Greyhounds, etc. those with "bald" tails sometimes have their tails docked to save on later medical bills. They get excited, and beat their tails constantly against things and this action can create blisters and boils that risk infection, (cant remember the technical term) etc. I'd still rather see animals with everything intact, but having worked in a clinic and dealt with a few infected cases, (EWW), I can see the reasoning, and its much worse for an adult than it is for a pup.

Brinks is too cute GM, even as big as he is you can still see the "puppy" in him. I love that mottled pattern he's got!
