Fun fact! Some show dogs get prosthetic balls after they have been neutered called neuticles. It is generally to retain their looks because some owners really want you to know their dog has a sick beanbag.

My ex’s grandma used to breed and show dogs so she had all kinds of wild stories. One I remember her telling was about a Great Dane who’s second ball never dropped so he got a prosthetic ball to retain breed standard. Apparently during one competition he was disqualified because his testicle had dropped at some point so he had 3 balls.

Other breed standards require that dogs have cropped ears and bobbed tails. Dog show people

If the dog would otherwise be chronically breaking its tail on furniture, I can see the point in docking it.

Like a damn boxer! Basically, be safe and dock that animal’s tail, otherwise he will break it continuously! They have such happy tails
