[QUOTE=Nancy1999;4020726]The problem with posting a video is that many will use the video as their training. I personally would rather someone forgo docking, if they've never had any in person training by an experienced breeder. Obviously, some vets don't even have the training in the procedure and that should be discussed before the pups are born. The OP doesn’t say, but docking should be done early within the first few days. There are different procedures for docking and some sound lots better than others and I imagine the skill level of the person doing the procedure would make a huge difference. Personally, I would hate to see an undocked tail used as a "selling point", and I fear that's what will happen.

Once again I concur with Nancy. Vets generally speaking, unless they are reproduction vets, and or have had years of experience, do NOT have a good experiental knowledge of docking. It is yet again why it is so wise to grow up in breeding with an experienced mentor. They have found the vets that do have the knowledge, and often unless a huge distance is a factor you will go to their vet for the procedure. And also their vet can refer you to one closer to you that Does have the experience.

Yes and their are different methods as we have discussed earlier. My breeder of Razzle, even though hugely experienced still I believes takes the pups to her vet to do. My breeder of Magic, who is also an MD, did her own.
