Brady (our cocker) is extremely short, in fact, there is just not much of a tail there at all. We leave a little extra fur there when we trim his fur, just so we can see when he's wagging his nub!! No problems though. He just has a hard time "catching it." :lol:
I do recall reading about a rescue dog when we were in the process of adopting Abby that had his tail cropped too short...they were taking donations to have "wheels" made for him bc apparently the tip of the spinal cord was clipped and he was not able to move his hind legs. How sad...apparently the BYB did it and instantly the dog was not able to walk anymore and went in to get a shotgun with the thought that the pup was no longer valuable!!!! HOW AWFUL (I really need to stop looking at rescue websites, it makes me crazy what people do). Anyways, the neighbor was there and when the neighbor realized what was happening, he essentially stole the pup and brought it to rescue. Good neighbor!!!!! But again, the outcome was instant, so your baby should be fine!
