They have very heavy long tails, so this is necessary. Pictures of Annabelle just melt my heart. Boxer dogs have their tails docked (cut off) at 3 days old.

On the other side, I adopted a S :happypuppy: cottie puppy and he really does look funny with a long curvy over-the-back tail, I wish he had gotten docked as a youngster but will not do it now that he is a 1 year old. I just clip his tail close so it doesn't look like he's something he's not. :chicken: Thank you for that very interesting and helpful explanation of the science behind the tail docking – it really was, now I don’t feel it was an unnecessary process.

Not good ones. Poor Annabell. :cry: I’m having flashbacks to when the kids’ umbilical stubs fell off.

Not good ones.

I am secretally sending her a map to my house-to come and live here-I'm afraid she will never get over "that tail docking" deal, and she can be safe here for ever and ever. You may visit in a few years.

Once on (and you do have to know how) it had no effect on them. They were back outside playing as if nothing had happened. I was always told it was a painless way to do what had to be done. From you post it appears it has the same effect on lambs. If I ever had to do any of this I would much prefer the band than a knife. Love your site and all your "pets! So glad Clover is home :) My parents used the “band” to castrate the calves. Once on (and you do have to know how) it had no effect on them. They were back outside playing as if nothing had happened.
