Well to my knowledge it is against the law to dock you own puppys tails .. you really need to take them to the vet and get them done it does not cost that much to do the whole bunch . If you do it yourself and have no medical training they could bleed to death.. you might want to check into that... good luck with your new babies..

its not illegal

i have seen it done via the internet, talked to breeders on here that do it and my mentors do it but my mentors live about an hour away

i do have some vet tech experience..i know what to do but i would like it shown to me up close and personal

It's quite easy to do and an experienced breeder could show her how to do it properly. Though, if you don't find anyone you could still do it by following instructions. Unfortunately I'm in Florida...but hopefully someone will come along closer.

it is quite easy to do as mentioned and NO it is not illegal. i have heard of more puppies bleeding to death at the vet than tjhose whose breeders do it. The twist and clamp method is bloodless. i wish i lived near you. We would do it in a heartbeat.

Tammy when are you going to do it? I am showing my girl all weekend but if it is after that, sure you can call me. i will check pm's tomorrow evening and if you are not doing it until next week, i will give you my number. All you need are the hemostats. You don't need scissors for tails.
