Should I have the vet dock her tail and do her dewclaws when she is 4 days? Or, should I have the breeder put her in pain @ 10 days (I'd rather not). Does anyone out there breed little yorkies that could help me out with this? I live in Los Angeles county and would love a referral to a vet that has experience with Small yorkies. The vets in my town do not! Thanks!
She seems a lil small. But, you're right you should contact the Vet. I dock day 3 but only if they aren't small. Those lil ones I doc on the 5 th day....
10 days is way toolong.

Oops! You're in LA.....I would suggest you contact Linda Bush, she's listed on the YTCA breeders list. Bejaze Yorkshire Terriers. She's in Orange County and has a Vet that she trusts 100%
