I have noticed that weimeraner tails are very short in William Wegman's photos, so I would like to know if they are cropped or are just natural. I have read his book about Fay, his second dog, and it didn't say anything about why the tail is short.
P.S. William Wegman is a photographer. Here is his site:

Their tails are docked when they are @ 3 days old.
(the correct term is docking for tails, cropping is ears)

I say we hold tyke down and cut her ears off and see how she likes it? lol
They're right, tails are docked, ears are cropped, though I've heard of ears being clipped. Also, I didn't hear anyone say that docking/cropping was cruel in this thread before tykes answer, did you?
Just a thought to those who think tyke is great and grand and wonderfull for being a jerk about everything she answers, because sometimes, it's not an answer at all.
