I have had docked yorkies & jack russells in the past and their stumpy waggly tails ARE cute....but not as cute as a longer tail |
I was thinking the same... we aske our vet about dew claws when my dd's dog was 8 weeks (before we brought him home even) and he wouldn't do it.
I like them both ways...I love Remy's nub. My dd's dog's tail is not dock- I know the breeder fairly well and I think she lost a couples of pups when they had their tails docked and she just doesn't do it anymore.
