Maybe the dog should be kept outside. That way it gets to keep it's tail.

They dock the tails when they are 2 days old These are not the kind of dog that you can just put outside all the time. They are like velcro need to be around people, at your feet. I cant go to the bathroom without Hank following me. They are not Labs. Nothing wrong with Labs. My dogs come in and out as they please through the doggy door. If My wife or I am at home they almost never go outside on their own except to pee/poop. They dont want to miss out on what ever is going on in the house. They are a one person or one family dog. Great with kids not so good with strangers. They are a guardian breed
Boerboels ears are not and should not be cropped there are no breeders or owners that I know of, who have cropped their dogs ears.
The tail docking comes from their use as a farm dog /guardian They were/are used in So Africa to protect farms and homesteads form Bandits. They also needed to be versatile on the farm No point in feeding a dog that cant earn its keep Just guarding was not enough. There are vary few Vets around. Tail injuries dont heal well eventually having to be cut off bit by bit. Vary painfull to a grown dog. Much easier to do it when the dog is days old.
