I have to say that Breeding is NOT for the faint of heart, I know docking is not everyone's favorite subject, beleive me mine either, even tho i get my son to use a topical anesthetic and do it as painless as he can, the clamp and twist method is still more humane than the cut and seal without anesthetic method used by some vets.
I pray every day that AKC will see the light and change the nonsense esthetic only tail docking..you dont want to face the "other" hundreds of practices that are ok with some breeders, ...even the most experience breeder will loose pups, moms and entire litters, Breeding is NOT all that people think...
good luck in your adventure.. is not a pretty one by any means..
