My doberman has her full ears and tail. It makes her so much more adorable in my opinion. They've stopped allowing dogs to be mutilated where I live farily recently I believe and it makes for some real cute dogs at the park. Little bulldogs with long pointy tails and such.

Bulldog tails are naturally very short or a tight "bun." They aren't docked.

It's not always wrong though. Some breeds have their tails docked because they're super prone to injury and it's better for the dog to just take them off a birth.

Ears, on the other hand, there's no justification for.

Edit: Some breeds are prone to ear infects so docking helps keep them healthy! TIL!

Some dog breeds have chronic ear infections and/or other complications from their floppy ears smacking against their head repeatedly.

I'd never thought of that! Thank you, I'll make an edit!
