I agree!!
Mel, you do what you feel comfortable doing. I would personally NOT dock a tail if the procedure wasn't the new Laser method. Too much pain IMHO. If you do decided to do it, I agree waiting till the puppy teeth are to be extracted.
You are aware of the standard. You've proven by going in the ring and winning. You do what you feel comfortable doing!
How about this, take the girls in the ring and get some opinions. If the ONLY thing holding them back from winning is the tails then dock if not then don't...lolol.
