Beautiful babies! Just curious why poodles get docked tails. I raise miniature Australian shepherds and I don't dock any tails. I leave them with their full beautiful tails and people appreciate that. I know it is "breed standard" but dogs bred for pets...or sports...can't they keep their tails? Just asking, not judging.
This is a very controversial subject, I hear alot from both sides...I follow what the breed standards are for Standard Poodles because these pups are AKC registered. I wouldn't have my Vet dock the tails of my doodles either but I have seen alot of miniature doodle breeders dock tails. It's a subject that provokes alot of opinions.
I didn’t know it was legal to dock tails in other countries, it’s illegal to do it in Australia, in my state at least, because it’s seen as animal cruelty. Some people specifically breed for short tails now though, unfortunately because they’ve been deemed cruel and are illegal, people see them as “rare” so they are very prized on the market (and very expensive). My personal biases and opinions get in the way of me understanding why people do this as I’ve been raised to believe docking is cruel and illegal but I try not to judge as I know it’s sometimes just what people like I guess?
@@_ladox_ I didn't know (and neither did my Vet) that it was illegal in Canada and Australia. Maybe the US will do the same someday. My opinion is that if AKC changes their breed standards, that would make a difference in all types of docking. I follow the AKC breed standards only on my AKC registered dogs .
@@_ladox_ In the U.S. sadly it is still fashionable to mutilate the tails and ears of dogs here in the U.S.. Dobermans and other breeds get theirtails chopped off and then their ears chopped off at four months of age and wear painful braces to make them prick up. The AKC breed standards for many breeds favor docking and cropping over natural dogs in the show ring. Disgraceful. I don't ever dock the tails of my Australian Shepherds. Someday people will come to their senses and the breed clubs need to lead the way. And yes, you can breed for no tail but you better know what you are doing because if you breed two natural no tail or short tail many of the puppy will be deformed, or die in utero.
@@dreamgaits most Aussie shepherds I come across have full tails, although I see a lot without tails online, I really just come across the dogs with short tails on places like gumtree, which can be a great place but also pretty unreliable (I think it’s like the Australian version of Craigslist?), because people can easily lie on there, but we do have responsible breeders associations in Australia to confirm whether a breeder is legitimate and has good practices. Personally I’ve never gotten any dog from a breeder, just shelters as my family prefers to rescue, but in recent years breeders have appealed to me (especially the standard poodle & poodle cross herding dogs like kelpies, border collies, shepherds & heelers, probably why I was recommended this video) I probably won’t be getting one until our oldest dog passes though but that’s ok cause she’s a little wild card, but a real charmer. Fun fact: I think the most common breed I’ve seen in person has been the border collie or staffy/staffy cross (in fact, our youngest dog is a kelpie cross staffy, but we just say kelpie since that’s her most prominent gene)
Yes, the pictures of the ones available are on my website.There are some beautiful colors left too!!!Chattahoocheekennels.com The pups are 9 weeks old now and we've started house training and basic manners.
@@chattahoocheekennels Thanks for the update on the future Poodle litter. The fall litter had an amazing assortment of coat colors. I know there's no way to know for sure, but do you expect this kind of variety in the February litter?
@@theahhaclassroom4897 I'm hoping for the same. This will be Jackie's last litter, she's getting close to 5 so it's time...we are expecting the babies at the end of the month. 🤞 for all the colors!!
They look great with their tails docked. Make for a much better working dog as they will never have their tail stepped on and never have to deal with painful stickers or a matted tail that happens way to often from negligent owners. Just wondering if people think it’s so cruel to dock tails does that mean they are going to stop circumcising their baby boys too?
That is something to consider!! Its a super controversial issue. Until recently I never even though about it cause all Poodles in the show ring had docked tails but there are countries that ban it now! I didn't know? I guess it all comes down to what you are exposed to...🙂
I am still trying to understand why you are promoting this docked tail? Yes I am judging because it's wrong. There's and nothing wrong with their full tail. This is my favorite breed and I didn't even know people were torturing and mutilating them.
@@chattahoocheekennels THANK YOU! I love the Poodle breed so much they are amazing, It gets to my heart when I see people mutilating any breed. Thank you for listening to your heart. They deserve their full tail ❤️🐩🐩🐩
First, I would like to acknowledge that it not completely the breeders choice to dock their dog’s tail, as they are pressured to do so by a small, elite group of people in charge of, what they consider to be a prestigious group or club. However, if breeding dogs is our passion then we need to be courageous enough to say “NO”; I am putting my dog’s welfare first and tell clubs such as the AKC that enough is enough. I personally would never buy a dog that has a docked tail as I believe that it is so cruel to carry out this outdated procedure. I have never seen docked tails in standard poodles 🐩 before viewing your video. I do live in Australia but I still have never seen a photo or video in the US of any Poodle with a docked tail until now. I was quite shocked at seeing your poodles with only a stump. I am studying dog communication and behaviour,at present and have learned how important a dog’s tail really is. It helps them communicate with other dogs, as well as us humans, as to how they feel. Humans are able to communicate through complex, meaningful words as well as vocal and detailed facial expression. Dogs uses body language as their main way of communicating, especially with their ears and tail, both which are docked by some breeders. Dogs communicate to other dogs and to people primarily with their tail and ears, as they do not the complex vocal cords necessary to verbalise their thoughts and feelings by using a complex spoken language. I couldn’t imagine my Labradoodle without her tail It is a thing of beauty. It is lovely to watch a dog gently wagging her tail in a breeze and seeing the feathery tail sway back and forth. It’s as though the dog knows she has a wagging wand of emotion behind her body; a tail that she is somewhat proud of, especially when she is telling to her beloved, returning family members how happy she is to see them.
These pups are so beautiful! Especially the Parti's!
Thank you so much!!

Any update on the upcoming Standard Poodle litter?
Yes, I have 1 litter that I'll post video of by this Friday and another litter due next week. 😊
@@chattahoocheekennels Congratulations!! I'll look for the new videos on your channel on Friday! Thanks for posting these - so much fun!!!
This video is a couple of weeks old. Are any of these pups still available??
Yes, the pictures of the ones available are on my website.There are some beautiful colors left too!!!Chattahoocheekennels.com
The pups are 9 weeks old now and we've started house training and basic manners.
No I'm sorry, I won't have another litter of poodle pups again until February 2022. 😊

Hi!! Im not promoting tail docking. Please see the video from my latest litters. No more AKC for me.

I’m judging cause I went to their website just to find out they’re a doodle mutt breeder🤢

Thank you for your comments, they were eye-opening because your experience in Australia is so different than what I see.
