FWBO 4 Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 I know a lad that bred some cockers and his vet said he wouldn't dock without seeing a shotgun licence. OTT. and there's your problem. Gold plating of legislation. Working breeds that had a tail action that required a dock were done by knowlegeable people - breeders, not dosh grabbing vets. As I understand it you need the pup chipped, you need to provide written proof of the fact you have permission to hunt or control vermin and a declaration that the dogs are intended for working. You're okay if you're in England as you can dock cross bred terriers or gundogs. If you're in Wales then you can dock a JRT or a Welsh terrier but not a cross of the two. If you're in Scotland then you can't dock any. For a piece of legislation designed to promote animal welfare how can it be different. Do Scottish pups have overly sensitive tails????

CorsoQueen 0 Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 I also have found a major problem with this, no vets in my area will do it, not even for a fee! Which is crap cause the tail just doesn't do the dog justice. What is one to do? I want to breed my bitch but dont want a litter undocked? Link to post Share on other sites
