| ![]() I'm pretty tactful with people...but, find myself loosing patience when people debate a subject that don't have all their facts to back them up. I usually don't debate unless I have my facts together.

| ![]() Wow, all mine bled and the dew claws also. The poor Mommy's used to spend the rest of the day licking and cleaning the wounds. All the pups squealed badly and I mean "squealed". There's just no way I could call it a "whimper". I found it very distressing. This was with two different vet's, both of which did not approve of docking, they made it quite clear that they would be happy when it was banned. |

Plain and simple, no. Most vets over there were against the procedure and viewed it as nothing more than "cosmetic surgery". The same with dewclaws. The one I have now has had his dewclaws for nearly sixteen years and it hasn't done him any harm at all. It's really not necessary. | |

| ![]() Mary is right on the procedure and right about that they should not bleed. I was a vet tech for many years and we did tails and dewclaws weekly for our breeder clients. I have been breeding for 30 years and never once had a problem. The problem arises when people think they know how to do and are not shown by an expert. If you are going to do this procedure and you do not know how or never have done it before have your vet show you how. Now most vets really do not know the correct length to dock them at for show. I have seen too many vets docking them way too short. I had to teach my vet the correct length. They just cannot know the correct length for every breed. And I heard someone mention rubber bands - this is really not used any longer, nor should be done with this method - JMHO. Donna - I know her personally too and she is a great person. She just really cares about the breed! and well... it does get tired after awhile having to explain things over and over again. People want a quick answer or make comments they know nothing about and do not do their research first like they should. People just open their mouths now and do not want to take the time, like they should. Open mouth insert foot! Last edited by topknot; 02-06-2010 at 05:04 AM. |

| ![]() I just find having 3 threads on this topic overdone. I hope the admin with lock all these now since it is so overdone. I think everyone has expressed their feelings and not much more can be said on this topic. It is time to move on. Not too much we can do here in America with the way things are stated at this time. We show to prove breed worthy. If you do not show - then you have an option not to dock. Plain and simple. The one with all the other posts - I assume that you brought you dog from someone that does not show and had an option to buy a dog with undocked tail.
