This should only be performed by a veterinarian or very experienced breeder. There are two ways to do this: Docking and banding.
1) Docking - This involves the removal of the tail using curved surgical scissors. It causes some blood loss and permanganate of potash should be used to help the blood to clot. The vet will draw back the skin towards the puppies body and cut quickly and sharply.
2) Banding - This involves tying the tail with a tight rubber band or wire. The unwanted part of the tail will fall off after a few days with no blood loss.
