 Why????
I can never understand the reason why people "have to" dock dogs tails. I find it pointless - why??
I was given a rescued yorkie 4 years ago with a docked tail and I would have loved her to have her full tail intact.
Reading all the posts... clamping, twisting, scissors, rubber bands, sewing, blood.... all seems so barbaric.... why? who made up this stupid rule that they "have to" have their tails docked? What frightened me is that people are prepared to do it without any proper training. Would you circumsize your child using these methods yourself... i dont think so.
Rubber bands.. someone said its painless... tighten a rubber band around your finger and see how long it is before you rip it off, then try to convince yourself it does not hurt a puppy.
It would not put me off having a dog with its tail on. I would love it! Thats the way the dog was intended to be, if it wasnt then it would be born without one.
Think again before having it done.... is it really essential or is it because someone has said it has to be done so you do it? I know what I would do. |
