I eventually refused to assist with tail docking (and cat declaws)..so I struggle with this. I would definatly if give a choice leave the tail..but my breeder shows and stays within the standard and I understand that. I love my breeder and would never buy from anyone else so that's a choice that I have to live with. |
Oh my WORD!!!! I am both horrified and grateful to hear this... Horrified that those poor babies go through such pain!!! And grateful that Sadie didn't have to go through that. Yikes is docking really worth what they go through??? My breeder told me it was upsetting to take these little babies to get docked, and then bring them back to the mother with bloody stumps and then the mother is all upset as well... I'm SOOOO glad she doesn't dock. POOR CHEWY!
