| Tail Docking Questions How short do you as show breeders dock them? I have heard everything from medium length to 1/4 inch into the black to 1/8 inch into the black to into the brown. Which one is it? Ellie's tail is all black on top and all tan on the bottom. Can I assume then that it was cut too short because there is no black on the bottom?

| you never cut into the brown, you will have nothing but a nub... rule of thumb 1/4" ABOVE the brown (into the black) or where the tail begins to narrow.. hope this helps

| That helps, thank you. I guess Ellie's tail is too short then. I think most vets don't care about the standard and they do what they feel like...
