My pup's breeder did her own tail docking and gave some of the early puppy shots - AFTER being thoroughly trained by her vet. Gracie's tail looks perfect - not a nubbin, but nicely docked. I'd guess that other good, experienced breeders also do some of these things, too. It does save money, but also trauma for the puppies if they don't have to be dragged to the vet so often. I do agree that the women mentioned by the OP does NOT seem to fit into that category! |
