I have never had that happen but some people have. Just thought you might want to do a search and maybe read through some of those threads. I might be in the minority on this subject.
There are also threads you might want to look at about tail docking. Some breeders are not docking tails.
Just a couple of things to think about. |
Until the standard changes breeders should still dock the tails to keep the dog following the standard. I'm not sure that dew claws really help hold bones. I have had two dogs with horrible terrible dew claw issues I feel for the safety of the dog they should be removed.
