Prophecy, most people who raise bandogs do dock their tails. I am the exception raTher than the rule.

Hogar, hog hunter or not, Apbt with docked tail is a disquaLification.
I never before saw apbt with docked tail except one that got it chewed off in an accidental fight.

Thanks DDD,I did not know weather they docked them or not.I don't know too much about the Bandogges.I know they do dock some mastiff breeds and I wasn't sure if they did Bandogge's tails or not.I know boerboal mastiffs they do dock them,more often than not.The english mastiff they do not dock.Thanks,I now learned something new.

I am not sure why peolple dock bandogs, I think its just for aesthetics, because they are guardians- and not really in a position to risk injury to tail any more than other body parts. Not like a terrier who might get it chewed off in a hole...
Hogar, how many apbt do you know docked? Can we have some pix?

Well I grew up in the south Hog hunting with My father and grandfather along with alot of their friends My grandfather and Father have now both passed and so have alot of the guys and those that have not I have lost contact with Like I said in my previous post I do not dock tails. I also no longer hunt and have not in a long while due to a disability and I know live in AZ will be kinda hard to get pictures. The reason I asked this question was that I was thinking back on my life and my Dad and I remembered docking the tails it was very common in the guys I grew up around that hog hunted but I do not see it as much now but I also am not around the hunting scene any more.

Are you sure they were apbt, and not curs?
I've heard of people docking black mouths for catching sometimes?
Wouldn't surprise me some time ago, of course its possible, but I am fairly certain that no dogman who is selling dogs would do it. I suppose someone intending on keeping their own litter could do as they please though.
