Docking a tail after 6 months??? We live in the UK and we got our puppy from a breeder here, and when we picked her up I was surprised to see that she still had her long tail! It turns out it is now illegal to chop dogs tails here (as of April '08). My husband and I would really like her to have a short stubby tail, and if we were to bring her back to Canada on vacation we were thinking of having her tail chopped there. She would be at least 6 months, probably older by the time we could get to Canada. What are your thoughts on this? Will it really hurt her now that she's grown? Should we just forget about it? Has anyone had this done when their pup was older? |
