Don't have to worry about bleeding or anything when u cut them?
I put and old steak knife with a wooden handle on the stove burner until red hot towards the pointed end about 1 inch...
I have a sharp kitchen knife and a cutting board on the bar by the stove...
I also have a tube of antibiotic ointment
then I grab a pup and squeeze the tail on the side of the pup that won't be cut off...this I do to keep the pup from bleeding
I set the pup on the cutting board and 1 stroke down and forward and the tail is cut off...
I then cauterize the pups tail so it will not bleed with the old steak knife...only do it for a few seconds...been using the same steak knife for more than a few years...
rub ointment on tail...
repeat the process with the other pups...
