animal Trivia Quiz # 14
This is Animal Quiz # 14, GOOD LUCK! You can head back to the main Animal Quiz index, or try your luck at a random quiz.Animal Question 1
Cropped, Docked or Natural - Can you show a Doberman Pinscher without a docked tail?
The correct answer is 'Yes-but you will be highly penalized for doing so.'
While it's not widely seen in the US shows, the Doberman can be shown naturally. Unfortunately, from the AKC breed standard: "Tail docked at approximately second joint, appears to be a continuation of the spine, and is carried only slightly above the horizontal when the dog is alert," and later it reads "The foregoing description is that of the ideal Doberman Pinscher. Any deviation from the above described dog must be penalized to the extent of the deviation." So, while you can show a natural Dobie, you would be highly penalized for doing so.
In Australia and UK, it's illegal to crop and dock a dog's ears and tail for cosmetic reasons. When it needs to be done, it's restricted to certain veterinarians, as it is in the UK.
