Yes, sometimes they do, but they also whimper when I move them away from mom to change the bedding, to weigh them, etc.
And it is necessary here to do it to comply with the AKC standard and my pups will be registered with AKC. All my adult yorkies have docked tails, so that is how I want my puppies to look.
Now, I have seen some videos of someone docking their own pups, which I thought was terrible. The puppies were crying and obviously it was painful for them. I do not advocate that at all. When my vet does it, he knows what he is doing and I don't believe it is all the bad, but that is JMO. |
