Guys, did you read my post? The Bill will not pass and has been up for the last 2 years and has not passed. So it won't pass now. Just because a Bill is out there does not mean it will pass. It is just up for discussion. Have you ever seen some of the Bills that have been out there? Some are really wierd. I think that natural tails would be great! I hate having to dock their tails. I agree about the dewclaws, but I do have to say that I have two dogs with dewclaws, since they were imports and they have never had a problem. They were 6 months old when I got them, so too old to remove and did not want to put them through it. |
Personally I like the look of the docked tail...I like the way Sadies little back end wiggles when she wags her nub! What's going to end up happening....Breeders are going to start removing dew claws and docking tails themselves...then we will have puppies with infections. Or.....they will just bring them to another state. Usually docking and dew claws are done at a very young age...I'm sure it pinches but what about declawing a cat? They are like 6 to 8 weeks old and older....that is actually amputation! Why wouldn't they want to do something about that....What next? circumcision?! |
There are many breeders now and in the past that remove the dewclaws and tails themselves. I have never heard of a puppy having an infection. I am sure it could happen - just never heard myself. Tails and dewclaws are usually removed at the age of 4 days old. There are several ways it can be done. I personally take mine to the vet, since I am older and cannot see as well as I use to and I personally don't want to hurt the pups. Dewclaws are very tricky too. They can grow back if you do not get enough removed and you do not want to take off too much. The problem with having a vet removed the tails is that many do not know exactly where to dock. So you as a breeder must educate the vet exactly where to cut for a proper looking docked tail. Do not assume all vets know the proper length. If states made it a law against docking, eventually all states would come around as well as AKC and soon you would have yorkies with long tails. I personally don't care either way. I have grown a custom to docked tails, but I don't mind the longer tails either. I feel it is probably my humane not to dock. I have heard the pups screams when tails are docked. It hurts!! And it is also hard on the moms to hear their pups cries as well as having them be seperated from their pups until it is over. |
