As of June 1, 1998, a federal law was passed in Germany prohibiting the docking of Rottweiler tails. The basis for this law was the fact that the practice of docking and cropping was deemed to be inhumane. In order to comply with the new federal law requiring tails to be left in their natural state, the ADRK (national breed club in Germany) revised their breed standard for the Rottweiler to reflect the required natural tail.
TAIL: In natural condition, level in extension of the upper line; at ease may be hanging. Faults: Set on too high or too low. Disqualifying faults: Kink tail, ring-tail, with strong lateral deviation.
The FCI translated and adopted the new breed standard and gave all FCI member countries several years to comply with the new breed standard. As more and more countries are adopting the anti-docking platform for Rottweilers in order to comply with the revised ADRK/FCI Standard, and tails are becoming more commonplace, it is very important to become familiar with both the good and bad tail sets out there. Below are illustrations of those tail sets.

Natural
Tails vs. Docked Tails
We wanted to let everyone know our position on Rottweilers and tails. At the current time, we dock tails on some
Rottweiler litters and we keep tails on other Rottweiler litters. The
Rottweiler litter normally determines our decision. If we get more international
customers interest in a litter, we will keep the tails to benefit our clientele. Some
international buyers would not be allowed to compete with their Rottweiler with a docked tail. Also, a breeders goal is to one day produce that perfect
Rottweiler litter and next Rottweiler world champion; if you were to cut the tail on the
Rottweiler litter, you also cut the their career short of ever succeeding outside of the United States.
I understand when everyone thinks of a Rottweiler,
they think of a docked tail. But that should not be reason enough to continue
the tradition. History states that Rottweiler tails began to be docked to
prevent injury. However, Rottweilers are not primarily used in extreme
situations any longer such as in the military or police where their tails would
get in the way. Also, consider the other hundreds of breeds which have tails,
and do not injure themselves.
People can also debate the cruelty factors
forever. There are tons of literature out there used to persuade the reader to believe one way
or another. I have read articles that said cropping a Rottweiler's tail is
painless because they do not have any nerves in their tails at only 3 days old. What I do know is when a
Rottweiler puppy's tail is clipped, yes, he or she
does holler. Yes, they do cry for the next 2-3 days, especially when their
bottom is bumped by another puppy. So, this tells me it is extremely painful.
The Rottweiler puppy also does not eat as well for the next 2 days. After a few days the
Rottweiler puppy does return to itself again.
What
I want to discuss is something that I rarely see on these Rottweiler tail debating pages
or articles.
We hear how the natural tail benefits the Rottweilers health at birth, their
natural balance, but I believe it can also save lives. I want to talk about how
a Rottweiler tail can benefit your safety. Unfortunately, the beautiful Rottweiler breed
has gotten a bad reputation in the past 5-10 years. You occasionally hear of a
Rottweiler bite
or attack on the news, and it is very disturbing to myself as a Rottweiler
breeder. It has brought us to the point, where some states want to ban some
breeds indefinitely. Now this is another argument for another day, but consider
the following... Rottweilers attack for two reasons primarily. First, a Rottweiler
can attack simply because he is aggressive due to a lack of socialization or
breeding. Second, a Rottweiler can attack because he is scared, again, due to a
lack of socialization or breeding. Now, if you approached a dog of any breed and he was
aggressive, it would be very obvious by their snarling and deep barking, right?
I think anyone would stay away from that dog. Well, what is you approach a dog
and he is scared... would you be able to tell? Let's say he is bowing down and lowering his head and you think he is
inviting you to pet his head. So, you reach out with your hand and OH MY GOODNESS you
get bit or possibly attacked. What happened? Maybe you did not see it because he
did NOT have a tail. If he had a tail, you could see it curled in between his
legs and you would know he was scared and feeling very threatened. So, he
attacked you to protect himself, because HE was scared. Now, I know this is not
the case in all bite cases, but I think a tail might have prevented SOME bite
cases. I also think we all agree some is better then none. Our loved look of a
docked tail, can be hurting the breed.
Another funny point is when I have people come by
and look at my dogs, most people are amazed with their personality and beauty,
they overlook the tail. I have had numerous people say, I did not even notice
the tail. Personally, I think tails are great. I think it's great to see your
Rottweilers emotions. It helps you bond with you Rottweiler even more. I am not
trying to persuade you one way or another. I just hope I can get some
people to see the natural tail from another point of view.
The law banning all forms of
docking and clipping was passed in Germany in 1999. Now in 2007, their are so
many countries who follow these FCI standards. I do believe all forms of docking
or clipping of breeds will be banned everywhere, including the great USA, within
the next few years. Whether it does or not, we hope people can learn to accept
the Rottweiler with or without a tail. Like I said above, we dock some litters
and we don't on others. Tails do not affect a Rottweilers beautiful
personalities. If you are basing your purchase on whether or not a Rottweiler
has a tail, this is ridiculous. Base your decision on the Rottweiler's pedigree,
Sire and Dam, termperament, personality, beauty, but NOT their tail. We simply love the Rottweiler breed unconditionally, tail or no tail, and hope you can too.
