Breeders Need Help: Loved the story on the Great Danes and their Breeder, very well said!!! Danna Reference: Rescue Dogs, Abandon Breeders

Crop & Dock: I have been breeding and showing for over 50 years and I have seen both docked and undocked dogs. I think it should be up to the breeders to decide if their dogs should be cropped or docked or dewclaws removed. I have had Norfolk Terriers and we always had their tails docked at 3 days and dew claws removed at the same time. Puppies were back playing with each other within minutes of having these procedures performed. All were healthy and happy and went to loving forever homes. I now have Havanese and my Vet showed me how to carefully remove the dewclaws myself. I use sterilized instruments and each puppy is back with Mom within 5 minutes. The puppies do not even whine or yip. We do this at 3 days and pups go right back to nursing or sleeping right after the dewclaws are removed. I would never do docking or ear cropping myself. I always had my Vet to do the tail cropping. Again I think the cropping and docking should be done by a licensed Vet using anesthesia. But let the breeder decide. We have enough problems with PETA and HSUS without taking away our rights to do as we see fit in regard to cropping, docking and dewclaw removal.
