Dew claws can get caught on things and rip, so we took the chance and had them removed as well.
Even though I don't agree with it, and hate the idea, the breed standard does call for docked tails, so I went with breed standard. |
Docking tails before age 5 days old, the nerves have not completely developed to the tip of the tail and the babies will not "suffer" from having the procedure done....they yelp when the clamp is put on and then it is over so quickly, they stop crying immediately. I do my own tails, and they never cry about it again after the initial procedure is completed.
