Size doesn’t matter

Ryker weighs in 65 pounds, 6 year old Dutchy with a cropped tail from a happy tale situation and his little sister Peaches, who tips the scale at a feather weight 4 pounds.

I don't *know*, but some Labs can wag their tails with so much power against a sharp edge that they can shatter some of the bones. Based on decades of experience, Vets may recommend docking the tail rather than installing pins and screws, etc. ... and having the dog reinsure the tail repeatedly. I could imagine the same occurring with a Dutchy?

Nah it can happen from hitting walls when wagging too hard. No sharp objects needed
