Yes, when we take our newborn pups to see the veterinarian at two days of age, we have the tails docked and dew claws removed. We prefer the look of a docked tail and the vet recommends dew claw removal. Both procedures are quick and straightforward and recovery time is minimal.

No. They are not cropped, they just have short tails. The tails come in essentially two varieties: spiked or screwed. The tail can be almost any size and shape, as long as all of it is stays below the base of tail. In breeding, a screw tail will usually be dominant, that is, both parents must have straight tails to get one. In judging a bulldog, the tail is worth about 2% of the score, and this includes not only its shape, but its placement on the back.

The alarm duration is controlled by the Timer Adjust Pot. Turn the timer pot adjustment counterclockwise to lengthen time. See the label on the inside of the top cover for the timer-adjust-pot location. Also check the blanker LED, if it is momentarily flashing at the start of each alarm, adjust its pot slightly counterclockwise (15-20 degrees).

In many cases more informal relationships continue well beyond the formal year in the Mentoring Program. Program organizers bring mentors and mentees together. Whether you move on to friendship and a peer relationship is up to you.

People with short fingers normally have shorter nail beds, so a medium-to-short length for natural nails is best. If nail extensions are preferred, a shorter to medium length extension is best because nails that are too long on a short nail bed will not be well-balanced with the length of the nail bed. Whether you choose natural or artificial nails, an oval shape is best to help lengthen short fingers.

Trigger length is dependant on the shooter's hand size and preference on how they engage and press the trigger. Generally, you want to select a trigger length that allows you to place the first digit of your trigger finger 90 degrees to the axis of the bore.
