Lorraine,
Without attacking you or saying anything durrogatory please read-
Look, Germany/Russia, the Ukraine EVEN Bermuda doesn't allow the docking or cropping of the tail and ears. Yet it's done. Either by the breeder, or by vets on their own time. It's when they're under practise that it's not permitted. Veterinarians will even give breeders courses on how to do it themselves in the privacy of their own homes, I know because I've attended them. In fact, I'm going to Germany over the holidays this year to visit my brother who lives there. Please, if you're going to try to attack me in any form or attempt to make me look as though I don't know what I'm talking about, just ask me direct questions vs. phrasing things the way you do to me.
I'd appreciate it, further, people might actually learn something new...like that tail docking and ear cropping AND dew claw removal AND declawing ARE in fact done, although illegal if done at a vet facility.
I'm not just *some girl* or *just another dog trainer*, I'd appreciate you not being biast and treating me as such.
Thank You.
