Answer 1

chop them off

Answer 2

All dogs are born with regular tails. Some breeds like the Boston Terrier, Doberman, and Australian Shepherd have thier tails docked when they are under the age of 8 weeks.

Answer 3

I can't believe you've bred a litter of puppies and didn't know that puppies are born with tails; you have a lot of work ahead of you. I hope you'll get a breeding manual fast. Your female should have been vaccinated and wormed by your vet, she should have been de-flead regularly because fleas carry tapeworms; this way the pups are born with the minimal worm burden and the maximum antibodies form their dam.
If you live in England docking for cosmetic purposes is illegal. You are not breeding working terriers otherwise you'd know about docking; you're breeding for the pet market. Responsible breeders don't mate their female until they have a waiting list of owners ready to take a pup. Your clients may expect a docked pup. You may have trouble selling them undocked.
Docking should be carried out in the first four or five days; if you've left it any longer its too late. Before then their central nervous system hasn't fully developed so the pups feel minimal discomfort.

Answer 4

Have a drink, pass out cigars. Tails are pretty much standard equipment with dogs. Now if a Boston Red Sox was born with a tail, I'd take it to a vet fast & have it clipped so he can slide into second without trouble.

Answer 5

You dock them, the vet snips off the tip of the tail, which is cartilage when the dog is young (usually within the first days weeks I think). This is also done with the dew claws (extra toenail).
Whether it is cruel or not, everyone has their own thinking. I have had people tell me they have watched it be done and the puppy yelps then goes back to nursing right away, not traumatized. Probably similar to circumcision on baby boys! Although that is a lot more painful, they just don't remember!

Answer 6

All Boston Terriers are born with tails - as are Dobermans. They have to be "stubbed" by a vet.

Answer 7

boston terriers are supposed to be born with tails. by law you cannot dock the tails anymore. Tails were originaly docked for shows, but it is now classed as mutilation so any dogs with docked tails cannot be in shows.

Answer 8

All dogs are born with tails. They are simply docked at the vets office. Personally I would let them keep their tails unless the dogs are going to be shown in conformation although by your question I can guess this won't be happening.

Answer 9

ALL small dog breeds are born with tails. Usually, the tails are 'docked' at birth. It's ususally done with a pair of very sharp shears, and if done at birth, painless for the most part. If you don't feel comfortable docking his/her tail,take the dog to a breeder, and have them do it. I don't know if a vet will.
