Well, I thought about this for a while. I have a mutt terrier of some sort, and the Min Pins are also a terrier breed. The mutt terrier still has his tail. It's ugly, and he often curls it between his legs( and up against his tummy.) O.K.,...... THAT'S NOT A GREAT LOOK(Just trust me on that there.) I can see why they get rid of them(whether it's right, or not, is another question.)

I refuse to cut off an animals ears or tail just to please an owner's cosmetic preferences.
