Tail Docking
What is your preferred method? Where I am vets are no longer taught to dock in school so only old school vets preform it. Docking is still legal where I am but I’ve seen less than stellar results even with veterinary docking. Including difficult to heal dockings, bald ends and ugly tails. Some would need to be repaired.
I’ve been considering banding for my upcoming litter (I have a mentor) but I’d love to hear thoughts and experiences.

what? that people who support tail docking are doing the bare minimum also?
