Will be fine doing earth work might get damaged if used for bushing

[swagboy 9]

if you use it for earth work the set may cave in on the dog with the waging of the tail if you are working soft sandy grond

A terriers tail is a long way from his heart mate. all the best.

MAYBE IT COULD USE IT'S TAIL TO KNOCK THE QUARRY OUT???

Can you still dock terriers or is it only for working terriers

From memory you can only dock 'working' dogs.

You have to prove the use and when docked all pups must be chipped!

Ther you go lads. Take a look at this link. It's the law on docking tails in case anyones interested. It just shows how little the people who run our country know about what we do.

 

This is my favourite part though;

 

In England the following can be docked:

1. Hunt point retrieve breeds of any type or combination of types.

 

2. Spaniels of any type or combination of types.

 

3. Terriers of any type or combination of types.

 

In Wales the following can be docked:

 

1. Spaniels of the following breeds: English Springer Spaniel, Welsh Springer Spaniel and Cocker Spaniel, but not combinations of breeds

 

2. Terriers of the following breeds: Jack Russell Terrier, Cairn Terrier, Lakeland Terrier, Norfolk Terrier, but not combinations of breeds

 

3. Hunt point retrievers of the following breeds:

 

W-T-F!

Whichever Welshman thought that up really shouldnt be allowed to think unsupervised! So cross breeds dont work? lol

[Terrier Sam 297]

Ahh that's why your not an MP Born Hunter because if you were, you'd know that cross breds, along with patterdales, don't work in WALES but if you skip accross the border to England, they do!
