To late i'm afraid dog has to be under 5 DAYS old . you could have it removed by a vet but it is now a big job general anaesthetic and Big Bill ! That is if you can find a vet that will do it !

 

Animal welfare act 2006 makes the rules !!

wait till its about 14 weeks then get a farmer too put a rubber ring over it at the required length (the ones they put on lambs ) . it will drop off after a couple of weeks .

aye it is a bit late, i would never buy a un-docked terrier, for the sake of their health and because i think patterdales with tails look silly

 

you could try the vets but i wouldnt think they would do it, the stupid buggers will only probably do it once it get injured grrrrr stupid people

Is this a tried and tested method? i cant imagine this doing much for the laal terrier,probably do more harm than good i would have thought?

yes it is tried and tested works perfect dog forgets all about the ring after a few mins. tail ready to drop off after about ten days .

will still work with a tail

Docking a dogs tail with a rubber band does work, I did a couple of my Dobermann pups years ago, when the vet didnt cut them short enough but you should only use this method only when there under a week old as the tail is still grizzle, at 14 wks its bone, this will course the pup alot of pain suffering, open to infection an possibly the loss of a pup, a big vet bill and the RSPCA after you.

How long have you got until a dog cannot be docked?

Always used to do mine at about 2-3 days old, the skill of it is to get a constant length when the pups are so small, what looks like a little bit can be a bigger bit when they are adults.

My russell has a 4-5" stump, I was told a while after I got him that his tail was how can you say 'Nibbled off by the breeder'! Don't know how much truth is in this, anybody else know about the tail biting?

By the way he's 8 now with a happy stump!

I used to know a lad a few years ago who claimed he bit them off. How true it was i don't know, as i never actualy saw him do it.
