Because the AKC and Kennel Club (Great Britain) standards require it, along with removal of the dew claws. Contrary to what some people think, tail docking is not a painful process for very young puppies. The lack of a tail certainly does not detract from a Pembroke's expressiveness. The Pem's foxy, intelligent face can be extremely expressive, with a distinct smile when he is happy.

It's already too late. The breeder should have had the tail docked at the age of 3-5 days, before the nerves in the tail were fully developed. It can be done very easily and with minimum pain to the dog at that age. Even though your puppy is only a couple of months old now, his tail is already very sensitive. It would require surgery with anesthetic to dock that tail now. Enjoy his unique full tail as it is, rather than putting your dog through surgery.

Most breeders have their veterinarian dock the puppies tails when they are a few days old. If your puppy does not have a docked tail and you want to have it docked now you need to consult your Veterinarian. [Back to Top] This question really interests me, as I live in a multiple dog household. I find that the males are just as loving and just as easy to train and housebreak.

No, I feel this is the barometer of what your dog is thinking and is too important to remove. Of course, you could have it removed at any time, but I would not encourage you to.

Historically, and I mean a really long time ago, dog tails were docked to protect against injuries during hunting. At the same time, an English law was passed which taxed "non-working" dogs. Rat Terriers are natural hunters, and were (and still are in some cases) commonly used for hunting, thus their tails were historically very commonly docked. The term "NBT" (natural bob-tail) refers to dogs that are born with a bob tail already, and so do not need their tails docked.

A bulldog's tail must never be docked. What you see when they are born is what you get. According to the breed standard, a bulldog may have either a straight or screwed tail. Most breeders seem to prefer the straight tail, since it is generally easier to maintain.

In general, the Schipperke is considered to be a dog with a tail. Usually the pups are born with tails that are docked at the age of 3 or 4 days. Occasionally a pup is born with no tail, or with a stub, but the tail-less silhouette is a requirement of the breed standard for showing.

Yes, this happens and is a normal part of river cruising. As River Cruising has become very popular, traffic on the rivers has increased and it is perfectly normal to moor next to another ship or sometimes even between two ships. The assignment of the exact berthing is up to the harbor authorities of the port of call and Uniworld nor the Captain has any control or influence over this.

A tail insurance policy is an endorsement to the current policy that extends the reporting period of a claim after a claims-made policy has expired or has been canceled. Since most healthcare providers carry claims made insurance policies, tail insurance provides important protection against claims that could be made months or even years after care was provided to a patient. HU provides free tail coverage to retiring owner who have been a policyholder for at least five consecutive years.

Yes. There are two ways to control the iPod while it is docked in the SoundDock??? system. From almost anywhere in the room, you can use the handy SoundDock??? IR remote control to select Next Track, Previous Track, Play, Pause and Off. Use the remote to adjust the SoundDock??? system's volume, too. If you prefer, you can also use the iPod buttons and scroll wheel as usual. And you can adjust the volume on the SoundDock??? system.

Check the styles you passed to Create(). The default value is WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|CBRS_TOP. It is very likely you forgot the CBRS_TOP style (you can also use CBRS_BORDERS_3D - see CControlBar::PreCreateWindow() in MFC sources). Also verify the styles of other docking bars you may have (like toolbars). They must have this style passed to Create() too.

The tail inversion malfunction occurs when the canopy's trailing edge flips under during deployment. It usually then becomes entangled with a steering line. Tail inversions are the product of a rapid disreefing of the tail. They are very common on slider down/removed deployments and very rare when using a slider. They almost always clear by themselves and usually go unnoticed. The evidence of their ocurance can be found when inspectiong your canopy.

The best way to limit tail inversions is to reef the tail during deployment. This can be accomplished in a number of ways. Some people use masking tape to effectivley connect the steering lines to one another. Another method is the differential stow. This is a method of stowing the suspension lines that creates some reefing for the tail. You can read about the differential stow in our library. The most popular method at the moment is the Tail Gate. The Tail Gate was developed by Basic Research.

The new one has an extra support molded in. It goes from the arm to the hub. Here is a <picture> Note(8-2002): I have heard that the Hitec 525 and 545 don't have a problem with needing the motor wire gooped anymore. Still it wouldn't hurt check. Take the four screws out of the case, hold the top or it will come loose from the main body. Lift the circuit board out and use an electronic grade flexible glue to secure the wires.

I know when you are learning to hover you sometimes use the tail to dig holes in the ground <grin>. Some people turn the skids around backwards to angle the back end up a little but the downside to this is that it puts the antenna tube guide on the side of the exhaust. An alternative is to place a thick washer between the back of the frames and skids.

Is the tail drivetrain slipping? This is common with the LMH-100 series, and with helicopters that use belt-drive tails.

Is your gyro mounting foam correct for the gyro you are using? The CSM gyro, for example, works best with the foam it is shipped with, which is different than anything else out there.

In scene 9, which is the final part, and it takes place after the talent show, and the scene I look very forward to finally being able to draw soon
