A dog is born with a tail and therefore presumably it has a purpose otherwise it would have been eliminated through genetic manipulation over many generations.:) |
I couldn't watch the video. I started it and then turned it off. It looked so cruel. My breeder did the docking but that was before I could say anything. Anybody know why they do the docking? Whats the purpose? |

Dewclaws are sort of the "thumb claw" of a dog...because they don't ever touch the ground when the dog walks or runs, they can curl back and grow into the skin, or get caught on something and rip since the tissue on them isn't as strong as those of their regular claws/nails. There's a lot of debate about that one too though. They're taken out the same time as the tail docking. |
BREEDERS: if there are anymore reading this im pretty sure the vet glued the tails after cutting..one of the males tails has a little tiny spot of fluid o guess leaking, its clear..but it looks like it needed glue there maybe? kinda like a little cut or hole..im not sure what to do i put neosporin on it and kept him from the mom for a little while to give it a chance to work...my mentor said she never had it happen and she lives about 2 hours from me so she cant look at it..i tried to take a pic but i dont think its good enough i will post it though. she said this has never happen to her and that her vet stitches the tails. and saif if i had clavamox to give that but i dont.. anyone have experience with this?? |

I do my own tails with a sharp pair of scissors and I used a product called Clotisol to stop the bleeding. The pups don't even lose a drop of blood most of the time. I use small cuticle scissors to remove the dewclaws and put some Clotisol on them also. |
thank you its not bleeding its clear looking fluid..no i dont have any of that..is that for when you cut the nails to short? if so my moms has some |
