I'm glad my rotts have no tails. When I visit my brother (he has 2 working labs) everything goes flying off the coffee table and end tables from happy dogs(they NEVER stop wagging their tails :lol: ) I like bieng able to use those surfaces for drinks and such and enjoy my big dogs' company at the same time... Also, dogs with ears that droop (especially ones with lots of skin and really long ears) are more prone to ear infections if left unaltered due to trapped heat and moisture. :wink:
