All dog breeds that are currently docked have natural tails similar to other undocked breeds. There is no evidence whatsoever that these dogs would suffer any disadvantage by keeping their tails.

Claims such as tail damage, and health issues due to cleanliness or spinal damage are completely insupportable inasmuch as these breeds would suffer no higher incidence of these injuries than other breeds.

It is worth noting that veterinarians report that cats are far more susceptible to their tails being damaged, yet no one has suggested that it would be a good idea to routinely dock all kittens on the basis that their tails may be damaged later in life.
