Dog dockingTail docking is a process where people cut off the dog's tail through surgery, so the dog's tail docking occurs. There are many methods of tail docking surgery, but the most common method is to use a sterile thread to tie the tail below the part where the tail needs to be cut off when the puppy is just a few weeks old. In this way, blood circulation is blocked, and after a few weeks, the tissue that needs to be cut will die and fall off naturally. Therefore, in this process, there will be no bleeding, and the newly born puppies are not fully developed, so they will not suffer too much pain. (Breed)

Of course we ask, why do people truncate a puppy's good tail? There is of course a reason, it's just that every dog cuts The reasons for the tail are not the same.

For example, cocker dogs need to dock their tails because, as gun dogs, they often travel through thorny bushes to drive off prey such as quail. If the tail is not truncated, their large tail swinging from side to side can lash the bushes and cause injury. They were so miserable that humans cut off their tails.

For example, dog breeds like Doberman and Lovina are used for defense and biting work, and tail docking surgery is performed on them to make them The tail will not be hit during combat. In addition, there is also a saying that these dog breeds can no longer use their tails to show the body language of submission after their tails are amputated, which is more conducive to cultivating their brave and fierce characters.

Of course, there are many dogs now that have bid farewell to their original work, and the purpose of docking their tails is only for the needs of appearance. So some people think that docking a dog's tail is an inhumane behavior, and there is a lot of controversy about this. Although tail docking surgery for some dog breeds has become the traditional standard, in some countries and regions in Europe, it is no longer required for dogs to be tail docked.

We would like to remind owners that each dog breed has different standards for tail docking, so be sure to consult a professional before docking.

Therefore, in this process, there will be no bleeding, and the newly born puppies are not fully developed, so they will not suffer too much pain.
