more hassle for northern terrier men

[fat man 4,741]

Had a couple of borders down through the years with full tails,never stoped them from working and they were never in any discomfort,not tail wise anyway,lol,but gun dogs are different,Springers,Cockers with long tails are a pitiful looking site after a hard days beating cover plus they also work in places where drains and such are full of bacteria so an open wound on the end of the tail is not very healthy for the dog imo.A spaniel with a nice docked tail will fare a lot better.

I my option this a barbaric practise it does not effect the working ability of the dogs and should be banned completely

This is a open debate it's just my opinion I haven't slagged anyone. But the answer still hasn't been answered how does it effect the working ability?

Just a plummer owner mate , I think Johnny works rats and rabbits mainly

No I am a terrier man and I have probably seen more work than you have ever seen Answer me this how would it affect the dogs working ability? my terrier has a long tail it does not stop or hinder him. But to be honest I for one, thought dogs looked better with they tails docked but that all

you,s can all stick together it is my opinion as far as terriers

are concerned, but answer me this my terriers ears get bashed up off rats and bush work, does this mean you have to cut the ears off pups so this does not happen again?

Terriers use their ears as well as noses for finding quarry bushing so a terrier with no ears is no use to anyone :laugh:
