Vinnie the Miniature Schnauzer in a Bowl of Water

[Moonrust76]

Schnauzers (and all dogs in fact) rule with tales. Breeders in the U.S need to take note from cheeba99999999999 and set a new trend!

Aww, I wish my miniature schnauzer had a full tail to wag like that.

Vinnie is very hansom! He looks just like my MooseButtButternut! We had a litter of 7 pups, 6 lived and they all have tails and the floppy ears... everyone loves it and we're in America... i think docking the tails is cruel... and they are just so adorable with the tail!

Vinnie is a cute Miniature Schnauaer... Not to be nosey, was there a reason for not having his tail docked? I know in Europe they are leaving them natural now.... Both ears & tail.

@TheShopgirl2000a It's actually illegal to have a dog's tail docked in the UK now, unless it can be proven that it's going to be a working dog. This means that all Mini Schnauzers under the age of about 3 have got tails now. I don't think us Brits ever took to ear clipping either, we like our dogs as they come. I can't imagine Vinnie without his tail...

@Moonrust76 I guess that answered that. You are in the UK... Since I am In the United States it has been different, althouth I understand that we are leaning towards what Europe and the UK are doing.

@TheShopgirl2000a That's good. Lots of dog breeds are starting to look totally different here in the UK because they have their tails now, but it doesn't take long to get used to it. I can't wait until we only see dogs with docked tails in the history books.
