Because dogs haven't evolved naturally - we force bred them The boxers tail is very skinny and bony, and when it wags, it hits things and the skin breaks causing terrible infections.
I didnt' believe this until my mom found a boxer mix who had a tail that had been broken in three places and healed horribly, just from wagging. The dog would spray blood whenever its tail hit a wall. The tail had to be removed. ----- Original Message ----- From: "William H Bowen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2003 10:43 AM Subject: Re: Declawing cats > how was this not taken care of in an evolutionary manner? > > why does the Boxer's tail need to be removed? > > will > > BethF wrote: > > >The tail, in many docked breeds, isn't done for cosmetic reasons - its done > >because those dogs have tails that get injured and have to be amputated > >later.
