jultaylor1972 2 Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Could someone tell me if you can get working dogs tails docked? Pups are a day old and I can't find a vet in Northumberland that will dock them. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jultaylor1972 2 Posted May 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Ive considered doing it myself but I'm sure it's against the law? I want them docked but have to do it right. Rob and press vets won't do it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pups are a day old and I can't find a vet in Northumberland that will dock them. Thanks in advance. yes you can. I am fairly sure all vets can do them, from what i can gather theres a lot of paper work involved in doing them. so most vets just say they cant do them 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest dwain dibley Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 let them go to the right people, if a vet needs to get involved i think the tail is the last thing on his/her mind. also the new owner has no contact with the so called breeder anymore 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bootsha 1,306 Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Suprising how many terrier bitches on the fourth day, nibble or bite the last third off the whelps tails, must be an inherited gene to do it on that day and to that length. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RubyTex 1,957 Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 The best way is for a vet to cut the tail off and apply iodine. My pup's tail just fell off Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GO BACK OVER THE COUNTLESS THREDS AND IF YOU HAD PLANNED IN ADVANCE YOU WOULD NOT BE ON HERE CRYING WOULD YOU MY FREIND I'm certainly not crying, I just want some helpful advice - not sarcasm. But thanks for guiding me to the countless threads, I will read them now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
