haha! You wish! You made granny go out and work!!! She's gonna be too beat up from mowing to play dress up.

I was doing fine until you mentioned the corset and then of course me being me

YES both dew claws and tails docked at about 3 days old while the nerves and blood supply aren't going full bore yet.

IMHO dew claw removal is a MUST have seen what happens when not removed. And the docking thing is an AKC requirement which some are trying to get removed. Personally I like about 2/3 or 1/2 of the tail left, leaves them enough tail to use as a "steering rudder" but not so much that the tail is covered/caked/coated in burrs and such.

Oh cool! I'm subscribing. Don't see enough of York any more.

Well, if she's in too much pain, she's gonna need help with that corset!

Honestly the pups "scream" more and louder when removed from mother's "
dinner plate" then when the tails and toes are done. AND it's more of a pissed off scream then one of pain.

ALL I can say is there had better be a litter of puppies in MY house in the next year or year and a half. between 2 intact males and three females. And then I get to keep a female all my own to have and to hug and to squeeze and get puppy kisses and breath from

Maybe your adult dogs need to go to couples counseling!

I agree. I like the tail long on some but if it's a working dog unless you kept the tail buzzed it would be a mess.

I've seen a few tail and dew removals in the clinic. They almost always bring Mom along and usually when it's snipping time Mom has to go on a long walk.
