I always dock tails at 4-5 days old and that was when I removed dew claws as well before I stopped. |
Thank you for that clarification!
I feel like I should have that standard painted on my wall, lol. I wonder how common it is that folks leave them on then? I noticed Gail said tha her boy has his tail docked to a 'medium length' and admittedly the length of the docking was one that hadn't occurred to me previously either! We have a Yorkshire terrier specialty I am really aiming to go to next week around here- I will keep my eyes peeled to compare
