Yes it's horrible. I *hated* when the breeders would bring in the puppies. Their screams are the worst-it really makes you wanna cry. None of the girls ever wanted to hold the puppies while the doc did the docking because we all just felt it was so torturous for them. And then to see all those poor little tails lying there on the table--ugh I can't go into it anymore
