I went to my vet and he taught me to dock tails and remove dewclaws......in fact he encourage me to do it myself instead of bringing them out and exposing the pups.
Truth is I hate this part of breeding!! I will never ever get used to it! Why cant they be born with short tails?............lol Be as sterile as possible, or very clean about it. Have a vet show you with your first litter.
Nothing pretty about this procedure. I found docking their tails at 2 days is better then 6 days. They seem to feel more later. Yes They do feel it for sure.
C secs here in Illinois for me run 150 to 200, as of yet (knock on wood) no need for the service.
THe english meothod? They dont react? Gotta know how its done, I hate the reaction I get! WIth the cut method.
