Honestly, I wouldn't recommend attempting to crop the tails on your own if you have not been shown first hand how to properly do so. Perhaps you are working with a mentor that could give you an assist? If not, take them to your vet and have them show you how.  |
Excellent post! No one should attempt to do this without some training from an experienced breeder or vet. There have been too many problems and this is one of the reasons England passed laws to prohibit tail docking, a few breeders ruined it for everyone.
