quedge Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 I have 7 cockers puppy's going for tail docking on Wednesday. The vet said I have to let him know what length I want. What looks best and what would people recommend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wj939 Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 I don't think there is a consistent formula as many pups will have different length tails relative to their size at birth. So it is not as simple as saying 25% off. Typically I measure down to the hock and mark them there. If you have ambitions to trial a shorter tail may be a disadvantage.

lee-kinsman Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 As above, dock to the hock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Scotland Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 I see on the news tonight that the tail docking ban in Scotland has been changed you can dock spaniels and hunt point retrieve breeds tails by one third Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
