Tail docking:
While plenty of u out there have a full tailed dog (and I have 2), without issue, our Pixel broke her tail, first day back at work, after her first litter, few years ago.
Pixel was born march 2017, a few weeks before the docking ban in Scotland was raised. I knew, given her lines, that she and her sister would have a whippy tail and they do! Her sister in aberdeen has constant blood shed on kitchen units etc.
Pixels tail was amputated, after she broke it. During the healing process, she was at risk of infection and losing further, however manuka honey SAVED her from further surgery.
Pixels offpsring are docked to avoid this in other families. Having gone thru it myself, I don't want others to experience the pain, and cost (as vets bills are horrendous) that Pixel went thru.
If u request a full tail pupper, don't be offended when I turn u away, THIS is the reason all working dogs should be docked.
