To me docking a tail is sort of the same as getting ears pierced. As soon as my daughter had the appropriate shots I took her to the mall and had her ears pierced. She was just over 4 months, she cried for a few minutes, got a snuggle and a bottle and all was fine. If I had waited till she was 2 or 3 years, she would have pulled on them and maybe caused an infection, that's why I did it so early.
I am not opposed to leaving the tails intact, same as un-pierced ears to me. Beautiful either way. |
