When does Teddy get his tail cut off?

The best time to break the tail of a teddy is within 1-7 days after birth, because at this time the nerves in the tail of the little teddy have not grown well, naturally the best time to break the tail; if you wait until the teddy grows up the nerves in the tail have grown well and then break the tail, the teddy’s pain will be greatly increased.
The main reason Teddy’s tail is broken is because Teddy’s bones are relatively fragile, if you leave the tail it is easy to fracture, bringing inconvenience to daily activities. Coupled with the fact that Teddies have always had broken tails, people have developed an aesthetic consensus. In order to make a profit, businessmen will also break the tails of teddies when they are very young. Plus these tailless teddies are less likely to have bacterial infections, and even if there is a bacterial infection in the anus, it can be detected and treated immediately.

We should all know that Teddy is a very enthusiastic dog, but many people still choose to keep it because of its cute, after all, its hair is curly and just the right size, not easy to fall out of the hair, but most of the teddy bears we see have broken tails.

So why do teddy bears have broken tails?

1. Visual effect.

In the past, the teddy was a kind of hunting dog, they often have to climb trees in order to work, if they keep their tails, they will delay a lot of things, so they cut off their tails. Although now teddy don’t have to do anything, but we have long been used to teddy without a tail, if not cut off the tail, it will give a person a kind of a little ugly feeling, it is difficult to accept. Teddy without a tail has formed a consensus, and traders have to do it for the sake of profit.

2. Fragile bones.

Teddy’s body is very small, the bones are very brittle, if it has a tail, it is very easy to be injured because of some accidents, such as being stepped on by others, or accidentally pinched by the door, so in order to prevent these accidents from happening again and to reduce the possibility of fracture, the best way is to cut off the tail when it is very small.

3, hygiene.

If the teddy does not have a tail, its buttocks will be exposed, if there is a foreign body or other abnormalities at the anus, the owner can quickly observe and immediately take solutions, which will help to ensure the safety and hygiene of the teddy. In addition, small teddy generally like to sit on the ground, it is easy to get some bacteria, if not dealt with in time, teddy’s tail will rot, which is also one of the reasons why teddy’s tail is broken.

Teddy itself is small, very wide range of activities, if there is fluffy hair behind the tail, it is not very convenient for Teddy’s activities, after all, the hair on the tail is too long, and it is easy to trip over things and cause accidents when moving.
