Gypsydog94 4,557 Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 In which way do you want to work it with your lurcher? Bushing on earth work? Much prefer a docked tail Quote Link to post

A can't believe that we're the only country that aren't allowed to do our own bonkers lol. I've seen on clips what's vets do to the pups injections first then on the gas , bloody barbaric all that for taking a 2 to 3 day old pups tail off. A watched a woman use this method tieing them off. Just stopping the blood flow an you couldn't even tell they'd been done to be fair. They just dropped off no after care needed like there is with stitches. It's just like you see farmers do lambs it's that way. An she was doing the dewl claws too. Many years ago we used to use the moon shape scissors top quality sharpe ones ment to be for fingernails. Then abit of cut an heal on for a few days the job looked good. Some of these vets butcher them go way over board with all equipment for such a little job an charge you dearly lol Quote Link to post

The last time I had a litter docked I actually forgot to take my certificate. The vet knows me and knows I’ve got a certificate, and I still had to go home and get it before they’d dock the pups 2 Quote Link to post
