I'm expecting my first yorkie litter by the end of july. I recently ordered two books breeding for dummies and the whelping and rearing book. However, I was wondering what I have to do with the umbilical cords I've seen several different ways on youtube where some owners let the mom dog chew some of the umbilical cord then they cut the rest like an inch from the belly button and tie the end with floss & put quick stop to control the bleeding. is this correct?? Also, Ive seen this breeder take a hemostate and dock the 3day old puppy himself & remove their dewclaws .. should he have done that? Also, do you take your puppies to the vet to get their first shots taken? Or do you order them and gove them to the puppies yourself?

Thank You so Much
