I dock mine 1/4 inch past the tan into the black. The tan and black pattern is on the underside of the tail. I do this at about 2 to 3 days of age. Some of my show prospects are docked just a tad longer to give a better out-line and presentation in the ring. I dont let the vets do it as it is waaaaaaaaaaay to stressful to the babies and the mom. |
