Do any of yall preferred a docked tail. I have had some natural bobtailed curs but i have never docked a tail. Which way do you prefer to do it with a band or scissors?

I prefer locking hemostats. At 3-4 days old. Actually talked to my vet for this last litter and he's gonna do all 6 for around 80 bucks.

on the second day of birth take a vice grips, clamp where you want the tail to be, take right hand and twist tail 3/4 turn tail will come off,can't wait pass second day because blood will enter the tail,but got to do it in the first or second day..lots people take nail clips and clip off dew claws the first or second day.

I used castration bands and put them on their tails at 3 days old n with in a week, the tails would fall off. I cant stand to cause undo harm n the bands are painless n they yap or cry when they are put on.

Wire nippers are great for dew claws...
a cutting board and a sharp knife for the tails...one stroke and it is cut off. Also need to cauterize the tail to stop the
Bleeding...

I prefer a long tail that I dock myself...a pup born with a 1/4 to 1/2 tail ok...too short of a natural bob tail I don't like for several reasons...the main reason is that at some point in time the pups can and will be born with spinal bifida if these dogs are continually getting bred to one another...

Got a question for y'all on natural bob tails. I was given a dog with no tail. When she gets excited, you can see about one joint wiggling under the skin. I asked him if she was born that way, and he told me no. Said there was seven pups born and they all had tails. He was home for 3 days and went to work for 7. When he came back, her tail had fallen off that short. All the rest still have tails. Is that normal for a natural bob to do that, or did something happen and it caused it to fall off? Never dealt with that before, so just curious.

Sandman...I never heard of it much less seen it...I have dealt with quite a few bob tailed pups and never had a tail fall off on a pup...seems to me he should of noticed a severe birth defect if the tail fell off after a week...usually a pup that is born with a short short tail will be taller in the back end...

I would dock between 3 and 7 days...nervous system is not developed yet...length is your preference..
I like to dock down to about midway down the nut sack...just have to use your imagination ...that would be about a five inch tail...

I had that happen with a pup on time, but he was around a month old when it happened. Went from a fill tail to about 6 inches Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2 |
