Just a question for other breeders, something that has me curious. When you dock, or have the tails docked, do you have them stiched, or cauterized. Presuming that a vet does it, are you given a choice?
Have you ever had a problem with one method that you think could have been avoided by the other?
Any comments regarding this are appreciated. (PLEASE don't let this turn into a argument about ethics!)
