As far as your other question regarding the statement I made regarding nerve/circulation...FULL function, not NO function. Yes, I've seen the videos too....don't recall if the age of the pups was ever mentioned, come to think of it. I've also seen with my own eyes docking done by very expereinced and trained individuals and the pups never woke up, flinched or at most gave a quick whimper and that was it...so I can assume and go off research regarding the progression of nerve developement in the extremities. (I may be able to dig through my stuff and home and fine that info....I'll check later.)
Understand what you mean though, BTW. |
Thank You for answering
I really was just curious. I believed you when you said that your puppies didn't wake up when their tails were docked. I just recall that particular video being disturbing. Again, maybe the puppy was upset because it was away from it's Mother.
I liken tail docking to circumcision . To each thier own. 1 son, circumcised, 2 yorkies docked tails! I'm sure they'd all be thrilled to know I'm advertising the fact
