Sorry But you are wrong with that statement that was done to APBT alot of the guys I know that Hog hunt will dock the tails not all but alot I prefer not to dock but alot of guys still do it to this day on the hog dogs

Mia is far from wrong, Tail docking is/was not a common practice for the APBT. As Mia stated, it serves no real value, in fact, its does the opposite. The tail is used for balance, which a match dog needs, so to remove it would be rather counter-productive and reasons why it was never a common practice.

As for hog hunting, Mia knows her shit in that department too. Once again it serves no real purpose for hunting so its not needed. The only tails that really need to be removed are on earth hunters. Earth hunters need to turn around while burrowed so docking is required. They leave the stub as so the owner has a handle to grab onto while removing the dog from the hole that they had entered.

If you know people who tail dock for hog hunting I would question thier practice. Not a single hog hunter nor do any real breeder of APBT's that I know dock tails, it is pointless for this breed, whichs is why anyone who is anyone in this breed does not incorporate tail docking into thier respected practice.
