Thanks May, Kelly and Kim for your replies, all of which I heartily agree with and expected. I just thought it would be useful for those who are starting out breeding so that we can all share what is considered a good standard.
Sometimes when I take my girl to a stud, I have to ask the stud owner to hold her whilst I give her a manicure and pedicure. This does two things - it means the stud owner can be sure that her "nails" are done and it gives me some help as sometimes it is a two person job.
