the vet will cut off the tail around 3 days old and remove the declaws, i have heard of backyard breaders docking themselves with toenail clippers. that is wrong. after the tails are docked the vet carterizes them and they heal up in a few weeks. my family has breed dogs since i was young and i have seen it doneby the vet it really is not that bad. it really is done because of the standard of the breed. sirius has his tail docked if he didn't we would still love him. |
