Congladulations Muff on your Big Boy!!
My Mini was, according my calculations & her Dam's history, to have her babies on Sunday, 10/23 ... today, Tuesday, Oct 25, 9:45am PDT, no sign of nesting, panting, or interest on her part! No sign of distress ... we're just waiting . . . .
I asked the Breeders Forum about docking tails and best advice I rec'd was to leave 2/3 of the length as longer tails are more "fashionable" now.
Thoroughly disinfect scissors and snip 1/3 off between vertibraes, use blood stop if bleeding. Same with Dew Claws. At 3 days their bones have not yet formed and you're just snipping off very soft cartilege. My sister will do Mini ... if Mini decides to get serious about having her puppies three days before my sister flies home on Saturday!
Again, let's hear it for ALL THE NEW MOM'S~!
