Top, middle, bottom of vulvar area???? This sounds like a much better method as it seems to take into better consideration the size and structure of the dog, so if you can explain just a little bit better I would appreciate it.
Yes the top of the scrotal area and the top of the vulva......Doing it this way really made sense. And of course my vet's knowledge on anatomy and growth patterns being different in each dog. I began this method and in each and every dog, I got a visual of a perfectly balanced dog.

I had been docking tails 1/4 to 1/2 inch into the black for a long time....Usually the deciding point was where the tail began to narrow.
