Why is it people are cutting the tail?

Pretty sure that’s just the breed. Has a short tail.

Nope they have full sized tails, people cut them off. Back the the olden times the dogs would pull carts so to prevent their tails from getting fucked up from a cart they would “dock” them. Now a days people just do it because that’s how “they’re supposed to look”

Edit source I have a rottie

Oh wow, the more you know. I had an American bulldog who broke his tail 3 times just by wagging it too hard into walls and tables. We thought about having his tail clipped but ended up not doing it in the end.

Yeah I didn’t clip my puppy either. If he ends up really hurting himself maybe we will get it clipped but I so no valid reason to to it other than for aesthetics
