He is a cutie for sure...but I have a dumb question???? Why no tail docking???

In South Africa it became law from June 2008 that no tail docking by vets for cosmetic reasons.

I'm so happy for you!! That's a special time for you and a great bonding experience.

We tied a knot in one of my socks and left it with the breeder. She thought I was a little nuts, but she put it with him. She later told me that it became one of his favorite things and he would play with it all the time. I don't know how much of that is true, or how much it helped, but I think it made a difference.

Thanks for saying you're in South Africa, I was trying to figure out where RSA was.

I know what you mean,...I picked a puppy sight un seen (greyhound Opps litter) and she was sent to me at 10 weeks...only got a few pictures before that. It all worked out well. Good luck to you!!
