[QUOTE="Boot Jack Bulls, post: 1642064, member: 24016"] Quick research says it was developed as early as Roman times to prevent damage to ears on hunting and working stock. Can't say I've heard a reason in my lifetime that explained it as anything other than cosmetic.... We have docked tails on our ACDs before (hot topic in ACD circles!). Mostly to avoid damage to their tails when working in pens daily. We really don't do it as a rule anymore, its a pain to do and, conversely, can be a hassle if you don't... [/QUOTE]
