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.

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.

Breeders lists are maintained by several local Tibetan Terrier Clubs, by the Tibetan Terrier Club of America and many all-breed clubs. The American Kennel Club (AKC) will furnish names and addresses of breeders. Dog show catalogs list the names and addresses of all the exhibitors, some of whom may have or know of available pups or adults. In some areas of the country TT's are occasionally advertised in the newspaper. Several national dog magazines carry ads for all breeds.

You cannot move it via drag-and-drop. But you change its position or dock order by selecting the "Bring To Front" or "Send To Back" verbs in its context menu. "Bring To Front" will move it to the top of the children list...

The picture is an animated .gif file. I made it using animation software called JASC Animation Shop... which, unfortunately, is no longer available. It used to come bundled with Paint Shop Pro. I've been a Paint Shop Pro user for a long time... and have used it to edit and tweak just about every picture on this entire site. You may have heard people talk about editing pictures with Adobe Photoshop. Paint Shop Pro is almost every bit as powerful..

The ranch is named after the heart tail brand (pictured above.) This brand belongs to the Gilliland family and is one of the first brands registered in Atascosa and Wilson counties.

The shorter you dock the tail, the fuller the leg of lamb appears. Extreme tail docks have a prolapse rate over 9%. Tail lengths over 1" have a prolapse rate just over 1%.

You should receive an up-to-date veterinarian's health certificate and medical record listing all inoculations, worming and other treatment the dog has received. You should receive clear, written instructions on feeding and care. You should receive AKC registration papers which may be the "blue form" initially issued for each puppy in a litter or an "individual white form" with the dog's registered name.

Kerry Blue puppies are not easy to find. Check out the list of breeders. You should not buy a Kerry puppy from a pet store because you may not be able to check the pedigree or receive support from the breeder. It is better find a reputable breeder on this web site or through a local Kerry Blue Club.

See The Truth About Puppy Mills. The AKC also provides information on responsible breeding at http://www.akc.org/breeders/resp_breeding/index.cfm.

I have no idea what a teacup Yorkie is or where the name came from. According to the AKC standard a Yorkshire terrier should not weight more then 7 pounds. According to the standard there is no reference to "teacups". [Back to Top]

No, their hair is like human hair so like humans their hair falls out but they do not shed. [Back to Top]

There are several reasons for theV-tail configuration. One is to make sure the tail stays in cleanair even at moderate to high AOA during landing/takeoff approach configuration. The second is to provide a secondary pitch control system to assist thecanard during emergency or off nominal loading configurations. Thethird was the "sex appeal" over the more conventional straight up twintail.

There is a theory that sometime within Man's evolutionary past he had an aquatic phase. This is upheld by: The pattern described by the hair remaining on the body describes fairly closely what would be a flow pattern. Also, the pattern of denser hair (top of head, chin, pubic region) matches the marine growth areas Humans have a diving reflex like that of the semi-aquatic mammals that live in cold climates.

That is an interesting story. Bill used Elance to release a Request For Proposal (RFP) for the animation. By the next morning, he had seven bids, all at $300, which is the least Elance allows for that type of job (this bid information is all publicly available on the Elance web site). One proposal outshone the others, a bid from NetE Solutions. These guys had actually done a quick mock-up of the animation in both .gif and .swf (Shockwave Flash) format. That's for free, as part of their proposal.
