are u really sure? because i remember reading that on some tail docking site a while ago about pups havin to be kept away from mom for a while.
Yes, the pups return to mom after docking for feeding and so on (and thats probably whats shown on videos ) but have to be supervised and mom has to be prevented from licking their wounds as this could affect the healing process ....so it makes sense that the pups would have to be kept seperated from mom if not supervised
