Cutting off a dog's tail: how it started.

Cutting off a dog's tail: how it started.
The procedure of cutting off the tails of dogs arose in the context of hunting and field work. To prevent bleeding from this area in conflicts with other animals, hunting dogs had their tails cut off. In that context the practice could have a certain justification, after all, it was not so easy to find a veterinarian nearby to help the dog in cases of trauma and bleeding. But nowadays, as dogs have companionship as their main function, caudectomy has lost its sense and purpose.
Other reasons that tried to justify the practice were hygiene issues and breed standards considered official by federations in some countries.
The breeds most affected by this practice.
Perhaps the two breeds most affected by the practice of caudectomy are the doberman and the rottweiler. These dogs were formerly used extensively for hunting, guarding and working in the fields. For this reason, they had their tails cut off in order to reduce the area of friction in confrontations with other animals and even people.
However, as we have seen, such procedures have lost their meaning precisely because of the main function that dogs perform in our society: companionship.
