Never pull a dog if it's in contact, tail, leg or coat, all you'll be doing is adding to any damage, hold and wait until they break then you can lift them. Granted it'll be a bastrd to lift with nothi

Something similar.

For the novice ......For those wondering why you never pull a dog out by its tail ,its to prevent back injuries through jarring the spinal chord .Always hold both legs and guide the dog round any obst

Taking any general amount off (historically) like a third or whatever system you use is nonsense, every pup is different, some will be born with tails that barely need anything off and some will want more. When I take my pups to the vets I insist on showing him where to dock, no way I'd leave it down to him. I hold each pup up and judge the tail as if it was a mature full size terrier, the shape and size of the tail never changes through out it's development, if it looks right as a babe it'll look right when it's mature.

 

Why dont you do it yourself then?

 

Mate are you really that dull it's against the law

With out a docking certificate you'll have a lot of explaining to do should you be asked for one. Would I do my own and have I done my own before this ridiculous law came to pass, you bet your life on it Tinkerbell, I've seen to many "professionals" make a pigs ear out of a terrier, hence the reason for standing and watching like an expectant father.
