Mixedgrill 704 Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Why would anyone cut the tails so short I havent a clue, if Im doing pups myself I usually dock no more than a third of the tail off It won't stop them from working chum I'm sure they'll do you proud 2 Quote Link to post
j1985 1,983 Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 "Wrecked" ??? Ffs how the hell can a pup be wrecked by having a short dock ?? Last time I checked it's what up the other end that matters... 4 Quote Link to post

derekbrown 176 Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 The man who cut those tails is an ape.It would make you think the man who bred them is probably fairly green and that would make you wonder how well bred they are.Maybe I am wrong and no offence meant to the man who owns the pups.

liamdelaney 2,586 Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Lovely looking pups,but f**k them tails are a disgrace,what excuse did the breeder give for butchering them like that??One is a genuine mistake but he done it twice.I hope they work out good for you.If they were mine everytime I would look at them I would see the tail first LOL 1 Quote Link to post
neil cooney 10,416 Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) I'm sure the law was applied and a vet docked them and believe it or not IMO vets are some of the biggest culprits for docking too short. Who cares anyway ! Raymond they're lovely pups and they're the spit of two pups a friends got off Ken G. about 20 years ago. Are they that breeding by any chance ?

I will do my best to encourage the positive progress of the pups. 1 Quote Link to post

Heya Neil, they are from workers to workers all the way. Thats all the research I did on the pups. Sure it shows in there behaviours and attitudes already at such a young age. I could ring one of the lads later and find out if they know anything else other than worker to worker. 1 Quote Link to post
Raymond 618 Posted February 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 I agree about the vets can do shobby docks aswell. When it was legal to dock an old fella showed me how he did it. H e would cut the tail, pull the skin back slightly and nipp a small section of bone.When you let the skin go back into place thers no bone right at the tip of the tail.Doing this the dog develops a thicker layer of skin at the end of the tail. I remember years ago some of the doberman breeders docking tails.If you touched the tip of the tail they would nearly drop there arse to the floor.Ive seen dogs try to sit down with there docked tails just to jump up as the tip of the tail was sensitive to touch. 3 Quote Link to post
