Explain the paper bag and masking tape method. I havent heard of that. I havent tried the breathrite strips but may try that next time. The other puppies rip the surgical tape off of each other in a matter of seconds. I started tapeing black electrical tape over the white so they dont notice it as well and leave them alone. I also shave the entire ear at about three weeks and that seems to work real well.
