It all start when my vet increased the price for tail docking from $10, to $20, to $50 per dogs in 2 years! And now my new vet don't do it at all

So today was the day, the puppies are 4 days old. After watching Nathalie's tail docking video many,many times, I when for it.

Whelping/Tail Dock Video

I used the medical clamps to squeeze the tail, twist,twist,twist, a drop of Clotisol and that was it. No blood and a little crying but not the yell I was expecting. The puppies are all doing fine.

I was terrified, but I got over my fear and did it.

Learning how to breed and take care of a litter really is a lifelong journey.

I feel like today... I took and other step forward...

Just want to share that special moment with you all.
