Well I live in the UK and the majority of people are completely against docking (cropping is not allowed anyway) I personally think that 'some' breeds look stunning when they are cropped and docked but is it right that we do this just to please our own vanity and fashion whims?? I dont think it is but I will confess to being a hypocrite - as long as it is allowed I would have no quarms with purchasing a dog that already has it done (I would not buy one and then have it done myself)
