patterdale pup tail docking

[Guest blackntan]

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.

mine are all self docking

Funny you should say that b&t as my bitch has a bad habit of biting off the pups tails too.

one of my dogs tails isnt well, how can i say, docked by who it should be!

 

and when i took it to the vets to get its injections the vet asked alot of questions but i just played dumb, they microchip them at the same time to proove its the same dog suposedly but obviously my pup wasnt microchipped, if you just play dumb and dont give nothing away they usually just let it go in the end

 

my friend who has just had a litter of patts said all she got wi them was a photocopied bit of paper when the vet did them

Ive a litter here, the dam bit all the tails short when they were 2 days old. I told her she was a naughty girl.
