I used to be totally against ear cropping but then I saw how his came out and I like them. The only reason didn't kill my boyfriend for having them cropped was because we do plan on showing him. Some people dock their pit bull's tail but that is against the breed standard. They are supposed to have natural tails. Even though it can be used as a weapon.lol.I swear,that tail is like a whip. I was wrestling with Dante a while back and he gave me a black eye with his tail.
