docking tails

[Aaron Proffitt 142]

STRANGE HOW IT'S ILLEGAL TO DOCK THE END OF A DOGS TAIL YET A RABBI CAN CUT THE FORESKIN OF A JEWISH BABY BOY??? WHICH DO YOU THINK IS MORE BARBARIC??

 

 

Dunno....all I know is my dogs are my property.If I want to pierce their ears and tatoo sleeves on 'em; that's my right.

[Toka 10]

its all daft...as long as it aint done for cosmetic reasons [seen firsthand the damage done to non docked dog tail regularly worked to thick cover]

spoke to our vets the other day...he wouldnt do it, the argument of risk assessment came up and that we should npt work them if having to remove and appendage [tail] was a possible result...we both agreed that would probably never happen [stopping working our dogs!!]

he did say thouhg that the main reason was getting struck off by the royal college of vets if they didnt do something right. there was a trainee vet there as well [city bred] who saif that none of her vets class said they would ever perform a docking [seems we will have to start encouraging country folk into the profession].

 

but they both said it was even stranger that dew claw removal is still done with no qualms by almost every vet...they thought that this will soon also be outlawed!!!

p.s. does no one want to buy my shotgun????

now im going to cause trouble why dockem? iv got one docked on not and makes no difference just looks nice.. im sick of comments saying that aint no working dog its got a tail.. they were never docked in years gone by just by fashion followers....... now here come the comments by all the REAL DOG men... ha ha ha

Isn't the tail so you can pull them by it too, if stuck?

No its bloody not! Any more than YOUR ear isnt a handle for dragging you about!

SO here we are again your comment no its bloody not, , OK lets just say you terrier

to ground you have dug to it its locked on , so you need to despatch humanly the quarry

being a pheasant killing fox, 1 do you call come on patch come patch theirs a good fellow come to daddy

2 put your hand in a stroke the good little boy and caress him out of the hole

3 ask Mr fox to let go while you get you darling little terrier out of the way so you

despatch mr fox

4 take hold of a docked tail standing pert to hold and pull your terrier out of harms.

WAY THEN DESPATCH HUMANLY

THIS LAW AS IS THE HUNTING ACT IS A DIRECT ATTACK AT WORKING BREEDS BY LACS WITH THE

BACKING OF A MINORTY OF ANTI VETS , TERRIERS ARE NOT DOCKED FOR FASHION BUT FOR THE

PRACTICAL REMOVEL FROM THE GROUND, A SHORT TAIL IS LESS OF A PROBLEM THAN A UNDOCKED

IF I NEED TO EXPLAIN WHY , FOOOOOK OFF AND JOIN LACS WERE YOU BELONG

 

PLEASE READ -The tail is not the way to draw a dog, never has and never will be.You will end up causing spinal damage and thats game over .The way to draw a dog is by both back legs .Not one, but both held together .Ease the dog out then scruff .Any other way is asking for trouble .

I think you will find both methords of removing a terrier , carry risks the tail

although connected to the spine is not the most risky legs even when held together the risk of hip

displacement is a concern i asked a pro field sports vet before i put this on both methods

used with caution till the scuff is reached , and as my souce said if the quarry has a face grip

pulling is not recommended carefull what we reveal on here eh

He may be a field sports vet but he is no terrierman and no doubt about that .Pulling a tail is not right .I have seen several dogs lives cut short by doing this but no harm with the leg pulling .Theory is one thing ,expe

Pulling a dogs tail can cause irrepairable damage as it is connected to the dogs spinal cord. Terriers should not be 'pulled' when at quarry anyway as this has assosciated risks in itself without saying too much.
