Tail docking

[lurcherjam 1]

My border/lakeland bitch has just had her first litter and I am wondering where I can get the pups tails docked?

I am in the North East and would appreciate any help with this.

Not from that part so not sure where but if your getting a vet to legally dock them for you, you better find a vet soon. The vet we use will only do them when they are 2-3 days old...

where abouts are you ,have you got s.g. cert, or letter from keeper stating you work your dogs. do u know anbody with one who will say that its there litter, how old are your pups, if faily close might be able to help you out

i,m from durham and tried to get my litter of ess docked 2 years ago i rang every vet out the yellow pages many said it was illigal and i told them it was not as my dogs were exempt, only one would have done them if i had being registered with them for 2 years, when you have your dogs docked you have to also have them micro chipped !

There are a couple that do them, if you're prepared to travel a little bit (you don't say where you're from in the NE), but you will need to have the required paperwork, either shotgun cert or letter from landowner.

its down to the new owner to chip, im absent minded so tend to forget that bit

I am from Sunderland. I do not have any permission and dont have a letter from any game keeper. I was hopiong someone could help because it was my plan to keep a pup from this litter because the dog and bitch are very good workers.

The pups were born last night and she has had 7 not sure how many dogs or bitches yet.

If you haven't got a letter saying you've got permission then theres no vet that can legally dock them for you.

a bit far away mate dont you no any one who can do it for you

I am new at the game and usually people dont want to help youngings get involved in case they have big gobs! All I want is someone to dock the tails for my first litter.

shouldnt you have asked the question before even considering breeding a litter...messer

Good luck in finding someone but I think your chances are slim... you may have to put this one down to experience and make sure you sort a vet beforehand next time.

ps there's always someone who has to jump in and slag you off, it seems to be thl rule per thread...

as far as i was aware when the vet docks them they also have to micro chip them as part of the exemption at least thats what the vet told me when i had my litter docked they also had to be chipped
