Guest Lady-Hunter07 Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 (edited) Its just so the vets get more money for pointless things like tail docking... Anyone can do it. Edited January 30, 2008 by Lady-Hunter07 Quote Link to post
i am the undertaker 1 Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 i personnally will be having any puppies i breed docked as i like to see a terrier with a docked tail not a big hideous curly thing although this makes no difference to the dogs working abilities i prefer a docked tail it really p----s me off to have to put my hand in my pocket to pay a vet for something i have been doing for nearly thirty years with no problems and have to prove to the vet that they are working dogs and then you will probabally end up on some register somewhere for all and sundry to see Quote Link to post
MRD 3 Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 (edited) Did any-one see the recent Country M \W Show ad for the NLRW? No dog with a docked tail born after April 07 will be shown! What's that all about? Edited January 30, 2008 by MRD Quote Link to post

terriermaid 3 Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 from what i understand it it now against the law to "show "a docked born after last april if there is a admission fee into he show ground even if it has a legal docking certificate ,you either work it or show it !!!!! ,these laws are nothing to do with vets ,i have asked a couple of vets ,and they have said they dont report home docked pups as they cant afford to loose the buisness ,and its nothing to do with kennel club ,the new law is from the animal welfair act ,lol this all really pisses me off ,i enjoy breeding and showing and working Quote Link to post
jackthedog 0 Posted January 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 i didnt know that i thought you could still show them if you had a certificate from the vet well i think its just ridiculous are they doing this with all breeds of dog that are normally docked Quote Link to post
Malt 379 Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 It's not just the docking you have to pay for if the vet does it, you have to pay to get it chipped as well. Quote Link to post
