I agree that if docking is done it should be done by a vet or a QUALIFIED person. Bandit was our first dog and we got him from a backyard breeder and he was extremely sick, very mistreated, and came to us with a plethora of physical illnesses and some issues. We even got $100 off because they CUT HIS TAIL OFF!!! They said it just "happens" sometimes when they (themselves...so scary after seeing their house and the dogs there!) dock the tails. When our second dog was in puppy class, there were 2 dobermans who were four months old who had their tails and ears docked. They were obviously in pain and uncomfortable even 1 and 2 weeks after the procedure. As for the dew claw, I'm personally glad they had theirs removed!
