With regard to JRT's and PRT's the tails were docked to stop them getting caught on brambles etc whilst out hunting. I never quite understood about the full Dock but like Jess 75% Dock still gives a firm hold should the need arise for retrieval from holes etc: [assuming they don't go too deep of course :mellow: ] As a child I remember going with Dad to visit Gramps on the farm he worked at. Another labourers terrier had a badly muitilated tail after getting it caught whilst out rabbiting. |
