Since everyone has given you some very good advice. My only advice is this. Before your female is due you need to go to the breeding section and read the posts there. It's not pretty. The reasoning for the dull scissors is to make sure the cord is crimped like Bama said. If you let a new mom or an overzealous mom do it you could have a puppy that gets it's leg chewed off. It's happened . So instead of getting all defensive when someone tries to help you, you should really pay attention. They have been doing this alot longer. And yes they did start from the beginning but they did it the right way and had mentors. Sure you can learn some by reading books, watching videos, and shadowing people, but I can guarantee you nothing will ever compare to hands on. And even though I say this I am not saying to go do it I am simply just letting you know that anything can happen to anyone. Anyway if you think this is rude so be it I am entitled to my opinion.
