A tail is an essential expressive part of any dog. Used to express emotion and to maintain balance and direction when swimming. We have no right to mutilate pups so that they fit 'The Standard'
all dogs chase their tail.. i got my rotti with with tail docked (i didnt do it thats how i got him) and he still chases his nub of a tail. if i bought my rotti with his tail i wouldve not docked him at all i think its cruel
It's sad that people dock Rotties tails.I didn't even know Rotties were born with tails until moving to the Netherlands eight years ago. Docking/cropping is illegal here and the first time I saw a Rottie with a tail I was in shock. Their tails are so thick and beautiful. It's a damn shame to have it removed, especially if the dog isn't actively herding.
Alot of people don't know it but dogs tails are what helps keep their balance when running. Rottweilers don't run as fast when they dont have their tails, they run weird
dogs biting their tails is a sign of bordem and is not good it can also lead to phycological problems later on. buy him/her a brother or sister to play with or introduce a new toy every week.
tail docking is horrible. its hurts the dog while your cutting off its tail and its very painful. god made it have a tail so keep it. just because thats the 'style of the dog' doesnt mean shit.
if a rottie ever has a problem like chewing on their tail, simply get some bitter spray, we use something called granny apple which is made especially for dogs, which is self-explanatory but you put it on hot spots, injuries, and such to keep them from biting at it.
I think tail docking is great for working dogs, personal protection dogs, and military/police dogs. Removal of dew claws is a good thing for most. I get my dogs dew claws removed because I go camping, hiking, fishing, hunting, backpacking, and mountain biking in very rough terrain. The dogs that I have that kept their dew claws ended up ripping them and in loads of pain but if your dog and you are lazy it doesn’t matter.
@voxveho Your logic is flawed; there is no school for morons... well only you would know that. Did you post that comment for laughs or to show how much of a dumbass you are. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
people who cut the tails of a dog is in my opinion a sick person i can understand nail clippnig (not declawing) but chopping something of is as sick as you can get.
@animalobsessed1 Yeah but when they grow big they tend to wag their tails extremely hard and that can cause a bunch of problems if the tail hits something hard
getoutayourmind your a dumb fuck and thats definitly not why its cause the breed looks better without a long tail to get them cut it still cost money you dumb fuck you were not taxed that sounds so fuckin retarded
the only reason they cut their tails off was because back in the day, You where taxed on how long your dogs tail was, so to save money people chopped the tails off
@GetOuttaYourMInd The actual reason they cut their tails were to tell whether the dog was a working dog or not....it didn't really have much to do with taxes....the dog was bred to work. Mostly all breeds of dogs are the way they are because of what they are used for in the past. This is one reason why there are so many variations of dogs.
I agree with GummyBall097 that the rottweiler (Only, along with dobermans, boxers, american bulldogs, etc) just look better without a tail....It's really a matter of opinion with everything. If you want to have no tail or anything on your dog, then do it as long as you do it when they're young and it doesn't take a long time to heal...that's what makes it worse...
There is absolutely nothing wrong with the dog having the tail. It's just an aesthetic thing to mess with the dog. Furthermore, a dog playing with its tail is a natural behavior. Would you cut the tail of a Shih Tzu just because he or she is playing with it? Don't think so. I don't think a tailless rottweiler even looks better, just makes the dog look stubbier. And you can't really say "it doesn't hurt them", because you can't really speak from experience about it.
Simple... if you have a reason to do it besides just looks... if there is a positive aspect to docking... then sure. If not, then just accept your dog the way all dogs are made. What if I decided that I preferred a cocker spaniel with earrings? I could do it... the dog would barely feel it if done right... but the only reason I did it was personal vanity, projected on the dog. Dogs aren't toys.If you have a working dog that needs its tail docked to prevent injury, then more power to you. Peace.
There is nothing wrong with docking a rotty's tail and there is nothing wrong with keeping the tail. It's personal preference and I respect either. Since I'm on my second rotty, I know that I prefer the tail docked. From watching the youtube videos of tail docking, I see that it's fairly quick and it appears that the puppies get over it fairly quickly. What I don't respect is people saying that it is wrong to dock their tails.
Oh so is fine for any other dog to have a tail but Rottweilers can't because they like to play with their tail? oh wow so I guess I should cut the right hand of millions of people for masturbating.
if the dog is a working dog then fine, docking is ok. This is due to them in the bushes etc, risk the issue of hurting their tale or catching it on wire etc. Many places ban docking unless your planning on using your dog as a working dog. Dogs such as Jack Russels etc are most common for tale docking as their small dogs that spend most their working life in bushes
my rottweiler never chased her and she has white on her chest can someone tell why she has that because out of all the rottweilers shes the only one that has white on her chest.
rotties look ridiculous with their tails. I prefer a dog with no tail. My rotty could swim fine without the tail as well, it's almost exactly like a human swimming. I don't understand why people are making such a huge fuss about it anyways...it's just a tail..an extension of your spine..serves really no purpose.
a dog is a dog regardless of if it has a tail or not
@GummyBall097 dog tails are very important for signaling mood. They also help act as a balance. When I pick my dog up, as I put her down she cycles her tail to get a better angle of descent. Docking isn't awful, per se, but I would never do that to my own dog, regardless of breed.
@aaftabj you don't have to have the tail to regain balance or read the dog's moods. All dogs use their entire body in order to communicate with one another and the tail is just an extension. Huskies use their tails to keep their noses warm in extreme climates. A rotty's tail doesn't have that much fur on it in the first place and gets in the way of the them working....
@GummyBall097 If some have been born without it, I'd buy one of those if I wanted a tail-less dog. I would never purposefully cause any harm to my dog, nor change its appearance for my own selfish desires, because really, that's all it is. "I want this". But the dog is born as it should be. Also, if a dog happens to be a runner, the tail is certainly a balancing mechanism. But most are not using rotties as working dogs, just as pets. So I don't really see an issue with leaving it. It's cruel.
@Aikan009Kurenai I agree with you that the tail plays some role in balance, but it doesn't play 100%..not even 30% of balance. If you look further into the use of the tail and the purpose for the people docking the tails in the first place, then you will come to understand that it is practical and it keeps the dog from injuring itself. However, if you want a dog with the tail then by all means go get yourself a dog with a tail, it's completely personal preference.
@GummyBall097 Obviously, dogs tails aren't essential, but many body parts are not essential. I could survive without an eyebrow, or a little toe. Like I said... it isn't awful, but it is done for reasons that I do not consider important. "Looking ridiculous' is a value judgment. I googled 'Rottweiler with tail and all I saw was pictures of Rottweilers... with tails. They looked no more ridiculous than a Lab with a tail. I reserve medical procedures on dogs for medical reasons. Not aesthetics.
@aaftabj first of all, if you type in rottweiler with tail you're going to get a rottweiler....with a tail. but now you're comparing two completely different working types of dogs. heck, if every dog was meant to have a tail then there would be no variation of dogs because their would be one large dog, one small, and one mini. do you know the history of these dogs anyways? they're bred to be drover dogs for the romans...tails had to come off because of the risk of them getting it damaged.
@GummyBall097 If a working dog needs its tail docked then fine. Most Rottweilers, and most dogs these days, are not working dogs. As to the variance in size... that's besides the point. That's breeding. I have no problem with breeding for a dog with no tail. Like I said... if there is a real reason besides aesthetics, then it may be ok to perform surgery on your dog. If it's just for looks or 'breed standards', then it is not ok.
@aaftabj you're such a lemming....someone probably told you all the stuff you just said. but whatever, you stick to your labradors and whatnot. leave people's freedom of choice alone and just think about yourself and not what other people should or should not do.
@aaftabj you just won't learn will you.....head stuck in the air like you think that everyone should listen to you because you think you're right regardless of what you see on tv.....literally...you should do some more research before spouting your mouth off.
Ive had 2 rotties both with tails, the male chased his tail as a puppy but grew out of it at about 1, the female hardly ever noticed her tail. The biggest problem with the tails are them hitting stuff off the tables in excitement and wacking the crap out of your legs. Wonder if its just males that chase their tails?
I like to finish my comment by saying the tail has so many more uses than what I mentioned. Rottweilers are the best dogs docked or tailed. KEEP THE TAIL!
I hope whoever posted this video isn't serious about the title. I don't know how anyone who has had a tailed Rottweiler would ever consider a docked tail. After first having a docked Rottweiler and now owning one with a tail, I can't look at docked dogs the same, they look so incomplete. The tail of a Rottweiler is so expressive and necessary if you want to have an athletic dog, it's a rudder when swimming and it helps counter balance when they cut and change directions while running and has s
You BLOODLY IDIOT!! @teacup LA!!! How about you learn what you are talking about before you let your ignorance show! Germany abolished tail docking over 12 years ago!!! And really, tail gets in the way?? why then do GSD's (German Shepherds) Malinois, and ALL OTHER working breeds not have their tails hacked off??? Go to Guardian Rottweilers and read the page "Tale of Tails" please do yourself a favor and learn a bit more before you start cheering for the mutilating of newborn puppies!!
what u on about rottweiler have bad bones cuz of over breeding the tail docked his how the german intend the rottweiler to look like thats the standard theses tail are lonng they get in the way it combat attack train they can get bit by other dogs they curl and look dodge bet to get rid of it while they don remeber
my 22mont old rottie who is a guard dog chases his tail when he is happy AND on duty.... Patrolling and chasing his tail... respectful? no. but hillaruius and a lovely dog.
rotweilers breeding standard is without tails rottweilers fight and if they get grabed by another dog by the tail it will hurt also rottweiler as attack dogs should have the tail of so people have nothing to grab .
Re-read your rottweiler breeding standard and be careful what misconceptions you are spreading, some naive folks may even believe you. These dogs are not bred to fight, they are, by all accounts, working dogs that were bred to pull wagons, herd and protect livestock.
HIstorically, tail docking has nothing to do with dog fighting, but rather to protect the "working" dog from injury and infection, which is very important when proper vet care is not readily available.
@bennkilburn i know rottweilers are not fighting dogs altho some people do use them for that purpose. i said the rottweilers breeding standard is without a tail and then i went of to say rottweilers fight and theirs tails can get grabed thoses two topics where not link is should have put a full stop lool sorry for the confusion loool .
@zafeamoon it's not breed standards to have their tails docked. their tails were cut back in the day for working purposes like pulling carts to prevent injury. tail docking has nothing to do with fighting as there are other fighting dogs that have tails, i.e. akita. but NO DOGS are considered fighting dogs. only retard owners that are entertained by watching dogs suffer.
this is why you dont cut their tails off actually if that tail had not been there that dog would be biting and putting its teeth on its ass... damn that would hurt THIS IS WHY YOU DONT CUT TAILS! lol ;p
@CropJ A lot of Rotties end up on the street due to the wrong people taking them on as pets (I'm trying to be politically correct here). So I can see where your comment came from. Perhaps you shouldn't generalize though. I know about 10 very responsible Rottie owners (myself included). I bought one as a puppy and adopted the other. If I actually gave a *&^$#$ about what people say, I may have actually been offended. Phew!! Thank goodness I don't.
@HOOTERGIRL4NOW the word everyone is an exaggeration. i am a rott owner, i do not consider my dog to be "stupid as fuck" and i would paradoxically be calling myself "a fucking retard" if i really meant EVERYONE. i disagreed with queenzlink's comment of "generalization" and in return rendered another generalization... contradicting? yes, offensive... well i didn't think so when i wrote it.
@HOOTERGIRL4NOW We had two rotties growing up. One male, one female. Very friendly, very intelligent, and both docked... They were that way when we got them. But to be honest, I'd have left it in all of its natural beauty. There's nothing wrong with a dog's tail anything more than being a redhead with freckles. It's those that can't appreciate the beauty that have the issue.
@queenzlink247 Rotties are actually great dogs (at least mine are). It's also quite obvious that YOU are the one who is "Stupid as fuk." I'd also like to mention quite obviously ignorant. At some point or another every dog (if applicable) chases their tail; however not every person posts uneducated comments on internet video sharing sites(ie youtube, and yes I'm referring to you in the event that you are too dense to comprehend the insinuation ) Now that, my friend, makes YOU the idiot. = )
@queenzlink247 I think Labs are terribly stupid, in a nice way though:) Rotties are the most intelligent dogs ever, my Rottie plays the piano and dances with me (freestyle). My Rotties are far smarter than the average dog, you just have to open their mind and give them an opportunity to be smart.
i think cutting a dogs tail off and cropping its ears should be illegal that is abusing yuor animal u are deforming it and its terrible it should be banned every where
@superman122137 Would you prefer a dog gets a broken tail. and dont say it doesn't happen b/c my neighbor's lab broke its tail b/c it was long on a door. And than the tail got infected even after vet care and still had to be docked. Dogs that get it done, do so to prevent them from breaking. B/c some breed are prone to breaking their tails, which breaking the tail cause a lot of unnecessary pain when it could of been prevented.
American Veterinary Medical Association Position Statement on Tail Docking
(Current as of June 2005)
Ear cropping and tail docking in dogs for cosmetic reasons are not medically indicated nor of benefit to the patient. These procedures cause pain and distress, and, as with all surgical procedures, are accompanied by inherent risks of anesthesia, blood loss, and infection. Therefore, veterinarians should counsel dog owners about these matters before agreeing to perform these surgeries
all dogs chase their tails. Cutting tails is sooo dumb, its just that PEOPLE think they look better without them. Well i think some people would look better without a FACE, should we slice those off LOL
thats cute, my male still chases his tail sometimes.. but the real reason was because rotties are working dogs and a short tail/stump is safer and wont get caught in machinery , like what can be found on farms.
my rotti do this to and i only laugh it when i see this, it's so cute and this rotti here is a baby to like mine, so let them play with his tail, i don't cut of my rottis tail!!
lets just have a look around the room . where are the toys for him to play with???? thats just blatant boredom play . (europhonics, love the way you put that,,, well said). and thats from somebody with 3 rotties of his own, "ALL" with there tails........
I have a Rotti - he has a tail. Maybe if this poor dog actually had a toy to play with, it would be distracted. My dog only ever chased his tail when he was younger and he was very frustrated. now all he does is cause chaos and destruction with it (ha ha). An adult Rott with a 'whipper' tail can be dangerous to small kids (tail is head height) but I love my boy with his tail ...
I think you should change the title of this video. Any form of dog does not need to have its tail chopped because it chases it. All dogs chase their tails even cats do it. The only reason tails were docked was because they were working dogs and often got in the way of working. Another reason is bad owners that chop dogs tails is so when there dog fights the other dog the dog dont catch the tail.
There are very good reasons to dock or not dock tails, and because they chase them is not one of them. The poster obviously knows this since the pup does not have a docked tail, they were trying to be funny (adorable vid BTW). The reasons for docking a rotties tail does not stem from them as attack dogs but because they were used to pull carts and the tails would often get injured by the carts. Also they have very strong tails and are prone to breaking them. Either way they are awesome dogs!
All puppies chase their tails. When their tails are cropped they can't sit and balance themselves properly and when they age this lack of balance, due to the cropped tail, hurts their hips... and thats why you get old Rotties with bad hips. Compare them to older Rotties that have their tails.
@teacupLA what u on about rottweiler have bad bones cuz of over breeding the tail docked his how the german intend the rottweiler to look like thats the standard theses tail are lonng they get in the way it combat attack train they can get bit by other dogs they curl and look dodge bet to get rid of it while they don remeber
I don't agree with tail chopping. who are we to decide what belongs on the anatomy of a dog. With that said sometimes it's necessary. Rottweilers along with other breeds are prone to infection, making it inevitable. Still sucks though..
its never necessary to dock tails. my dogs tail and ears are my favorite part of him,but i have a golden. still goldens are ot much smaller than rotties, some are thee same size, and their tails knock over stuff just aas easily.
glad no one ever thought, hey lets cut off his penis.... would save us from alot of babies lol, j/k but i dont see a point in doing that. I am actually looking for a rott doberman mix wiht a tail... i dont do pure breeds
ok ....if you want to cure this .......every time he starts this .....do not look look at him ....walk out off the room.....quickly dont say a word !!!!! Must be consistent!!!!
It will take acouple of months........I paid hundreds off dollers for my doberman ....to find this out from a dog phyc. not one word no look ..........He wants attention even if its negative !!!!!
Rottweilers with tail often get "Happy Tail" which where they hit their tail on stuff and the skin breaks and bleeds. A lot of undocked Rotties end up having to be docked by a vet when they are older and then they have to suffer.
um...you no male humans get a snip when there baby's well inless there jewish.. the Rott's tail is nto likeother dogs tail really has no use it becomes stiff and in the end it will kill them. the nubmer 1 killer of a rott is his back when it gets older.
@Dogmeat1950 That makes no sense at all. So you are telling me any guy who isnt snipped is a jew.. WAKE UP, also....im sure Rotts along with many other 'pure' breeds would live longer if people STOPPED all the inbreeding and let dogs be dogs.......sure the tail kills them, if that was the case they would eventually evolve to not have them, o yeah people step in and keep that from happening
@Dogmeat1950 #1, no need to be rude... Sooooooo we are going on what Romans think? I suppose that means we are all goin to be bisexual, and we will serve many gods right? And who needs water, lets take baths in oil. Please get that outta here... Also, The romans were so great, soooooooooooooooo where are they now? Im just saying.... PLEASE come stronger than that ! :-)
@atltallone907 making fun of the Romans lol? they last over 1,000 years that's longer then any other government in history. not trying to e rude but so many people don't know jack about history, also the Romans used the Rottweiler in their Military.
Your an idiot. Maybe if you buy him some toys, he wont have to play with his tail. My Rottie is 2 months, has plenty of toys and doesn't chase his tail. Even if he did, how can you say that's not cute? How is he hurting anything? You should only dock dogs tails if they are strictly a working dog and is bread that way from birth. Its irresponsible Rottweiler owners like you who give Rotties a bad name. You suck!
A tail is an essential expressive part of any dog. Used to express emotion and to maintain balance and direction when swimming. We have no right to mutilate pups so that they fit 'The Standard'

If people want to cut of their pet´s body parts, that´s fine. I don´t think it should be illegal. Personally, I wouldn´t do it for three main reasons:
1. It makes them look fat.
2. The tail helps in reading the dog´s body language. (it is possible without a tail, but it´s harder)
3. It causes them unnecesary pain. (even if only a little)

@Aikan009Kurenai I agree with you that the tail plays some role in balance, but it doesn't play 100%..not even 30% of balance. If you look further into the use of the tail and the purpose for the people docking the tails in the first place, then you will come to understand that it is practical and it keeps the dog from injuring itself. However, if you want a dog with the tail then by all means go get yourself a dog with a tail, it's completely personal preference.

@GummyBall097 Obviously, dogs tails aren't essential, but many body parts are not essential. I could survive without an eyebrow, or a little toe. Like I said... it isn't awful, but it is done for reasons that I do not consider important. "Looking ridiculous' is a value judgment. I googled 'Rottweiler with tail and all I saw was pictures of Rottweilers... with tails. They looked no more ridiculous than a Lab with a tail. I reserve medical procedures on dogs for medical reasons. Not aesthetics.

@aaftabj first of all, if you type in rottweiler with tail you're going to get a rottweiler....with a tail. but now you're comparing two completely different working types of dogs. heck, if every dog was meant to have a tail then there would be no variation of dogs because their would be one large dog, one small, and one mini. do you know the history of these dogs anyways? they're bred to be drover dogs for the romans...tails had to come off because of the risk of them getting it damaged.
GummyBall097 6 months ago
@GummyBall097 If a working dog needs its tail docked then fine. Most Rottweilers, and most dogs these days, are not working dogs. As to the variance in size... that's besides the point. That's breeding. I have no problem with breeding for a dog with no tail. Like I said... if there is a real reason besides aesthetics, then it may be ok to perform surgery on your dog. If it's just for looks or 'breed standards', then it is not ok.

Ive had 2 rotties both with tails, the male chased his tail as a puppy but grew out of it at about 1, the female hardly ever noticed her tail. The biggest problem with the tails are them hitting stuff off the tables in excitement and wacking the crap out of your legs. Wonder if its just males that chase their tails?

rotweilers breeding standard is without tails rottweilers fight and if they get grabed by another dog by the tail it will hurt also rottweiler as attack dogs should have the tail of so people have nothing to grab .

@zafeamoon
Re-read your rottweiler breeding standard and be careful what misconceptions you are spreading, some naive folks may even believe you. These dogs are not bred to fight, they are, by all accounts, working dogs that were bred to pull wagons, herd and protect livestock.
HIstorically, tail docking has nothing to do with dog fighting, but rather to protect the "working" dog from injury and infection, which is very important when proper vet care is not readily available.

@zafeamoon it's not breed standards to have their tails docked. their tails were cut back in the day for working purposes like pulling carts to prevent injury. tail docking has nothing to do with fighting as there are other fighting dogs that have tails, i.e. akita. but NO DOGS are considered fighting dogs. only retard owners that are entertained by watching dogs suffer.

@CropJ A lot of Rotties end up on the street due to the wrong people taking them on as pets (I'm trying to be politically correct here). So I can see where your comment came from. Perhaps you shouldn't generalize though. I know about 10 very responsible Rottie owners (myself included). I bought one as a puppy and adopted the other.

@HOOTERGIRL4NOW We had two rotties growing up. One male, one female. Very friendly, very intelligent, and both docked... They were that way when we got them. But to be honest, I'd have left it in all of its natural beauty. There's nothing wrong with a dog's tail anything more than being a redhead with freckles. It's those that can't appreciate the beauty that have the issue.

@superman122137 Would you prefer a dog gets a broken tail. and dont say it doesn't happen b/c my neighbor's lab broke its tail b/c it was long on a door. And than the tail got infected even after vet care and still had to be docked. Dogs that get it done, do so to prevent them from breaking. B/c some breed are prone to breaking their tails, which breaking the tail cause a lot of unnecessary pain when it could of been prevented.

American Veterinary Medical Association Position Statement on Tail Docking
(Current as of June 2005)
Ear cropping and tail docking in dogs for cosmetic reasons are not medically indicated nor of benefit to the patient. These procedures cause pain and distress, and, as with all surgical procedures, are accompanied by inherent risks of anesthesia, blood loss, and infection. Therefore, veterinarians should counsel dog owners about these matters before agreeing to perform these surgeries

I have a Rotti - he has a tail. Maybe if this poor dog actually had a toy to play with, it would be distracted. My dog only ever chased his tail when he was younger and he was very frustrated. now all he does is cause chaos and destruction with it (ha ha). An adult Rott with a 'whipper' tail can be dangerous to small kids (tail is head height) but I love my boy with his tail ...
ean1979 1 year ago
I think you should change the title of this video. Any form of dog does not need to have its tail chopped because it chases it. All dogs chase their tails even cats do it. The only reason tails were docked was because they were working dogs and often got in the way of working. Another reason is bad owners that chop dogs tails is so when there dog fights the other dog the dog dont catch the tail.
A dog is not a full dog without its tail.
leethepee 1 year ago
well chopping the tail is not only illegal in the UK,
associated with dog fighting as well but chopping a dogs tail, maybe like me cutting your tail bone off your spine.
a dogs tail is an extension of his spine and should NEVER be cut off unless the dogs condition warrants such an extreme action.

There are very good reasons to dock or not dock tails, and because they chase them is not one of them. The poster obviously knows this since the pup does not have a docked tail, they were trying to be funny (adorable vid BTW). The reasons for docking a rotties tail does not stem from them as attack dogs but because they were used to pull carts and the tails would often get injured by the carts. Also they have very strong tails and are prone to breaking them. Either way they are awesome dogs!

All puppies chase their tails. When their tails are cropped they can't sit and balance themselves properly and when they age this lack of balance, due to the cropped tail, hurts their hips... and thats why you get old Rotties with bad hips. Compare them to older Rotties that have their tails.
