A$$pires to someday trial in Europe. She has not done so at this point. Doesn't exactly explain why all the puppies are going uncropped and undocked. Cheaper and easier is more like it. AND trendy, if you can convince others that they might a$$pire too. One policy that the bite crowd believes in is selling or getting rid of a dog if it "can't work." So they will be looking for people to rehome those uncropped and undocked Dobermans, even they admit that there aren't many who live up to their expectations. Leaving the tails should really help.
