It's a decision you make with your vet and with your family and house in mind. I didn't feel bad at all about it. She was put out for the docking and only seemed in pain for the first day or two, and that was remedied with the pain meds given to us by the vet. Now she's such a huge pain in the ass that I'm glad that's one less thing I have to deal with about her.
