The problem with that is then you can't go with a good breeder. At 3 days old I can't tell what is going to be a show prospect and what isn't. I can't tell at 3 days what their personalities will be like to say "ok that one is will be perfect for this person so no docking" or "that one will never hunt so it doesn't need to be done" etc etc
However, the choice I referred to is to simply choose breeds in which docking/cropping is not part of the breed standard. Others make different choices, but that's my personal choice. In making that choice, saying that one "can't go with a good breeder" does not apply.
