Rottweiler (confirmed introduction)
Most of the Rottweilers we see seem to have one characteristic, that is, almost all of them have their tails docked, so owners of Rottweilers will consider whether they should dock their tails. In fact, there are pros and cons to tail docking, so you need to look at the owner's purpose of raising the Rottweiler before deciding whether to dock the Rottweiler's tail.
If the owner raises a Rottweiler as a working dog, then the tail needs to be docked. Because the Rottweiler's tail is easily injured when walking in the forest and is therefore easily susceptible to pain, tail docking can protect its health. In addition, the Rottweiler's tail movement ability is relatively short, which will affect daily work. Tail docking can ensure the stealth of completing tasks and improve the quality and efficiency of its work. Finally, because the action of not pinning the tail after fighting fails, this can better cultivate the fighting ability of the Rottweiler dog.
If it is simply kept as a pet dog, then the owner may choose not to dock the tail of the Rottweiler to avoid the pain and harm caused to the dog by tail docking.
If you need to dock the tail of a Rottweiler, you should choose a regular pet hospital and a doctor with experience to perform the tail docking operation. To dock the tail of a Rottweiler, you need to prepare all the tools. A suitable pen tube, a valve core, a pair of scissors, medicinal iodine for disinfection, etc. In addition, it should be noted that the owner must not dock the Rottweiler's tail casually by himself, but must seek help from a professional doctor.
After docking the tail of a Rottweiler, the owner should also carry out scientific care and management. Use iodophor to wipe the broken tail of Rottweiler every day and carry out disinfection and sterilization to ensure that the wound can heal as much as possible and the tail can deflate and fall off naturally. It should be noted that the owner needs to use a rubber band to tie the tail at the position where the tail is to be docked, and needs to use enough strength with his feet, because the blood will not flow and cause muscle necrosis to ensure the success of the tail docking.
Therefore, if it is not for work needs, don’t follow others’ opinions and dock the tail of a Rottweiler dog.
