docked tails


Recommended Posts

I NEED SOME ADVICE REGARDING THE DOCKING OF TAILS ON TERRIER BREEDS,

 

I RUN 3 SHOWS A YEAR , AND NEED TO KNOW , WHY , WE ARE BEING TOLD NOT TO LET TERRIERS BE SHOWN WITH DOCKED TAILS AFTER THE DOCKING BAN, WHO ARE WE RESPONSIBLE TO, WHY DO WE NEED TOO, WHY OR IF , CAN WE BE PROSECUTED FOR LETTING THE OWNERS SHOW THEM , SURELEY AS MOST ARE SMALL HUNT SHOWS WHY CANT WE JUST CARRY ON AS NORMALLY HAPPENED FOR THE PAST NUMBER OF YEARS,BECAUSE NOBODY GAVE A TOSS, WHY SHOULD WE ALL BE FRIGHTENED OF BEING PROSECUTED , AFTER ALL SHOWING OUR DOGS IS REALLY JUST A GET TOGETHER OF OLD AND NEW FRIENDS

 

 

THOUGHTS WOULD BE GREATLY RECIEVED YOURS IN SPORT DENNNED

SENT YOU A PM BUT HERE IS WHAT YOUR ATER

 

Showing of Docked Dogs

 

A dog docked before the 28 March 2007 in Wales and 6 April 2007 in England may continue to be shown at all shows in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland throughout its natural life.

 

A dog docked on, or after, the above dates, irrespective of where it was docked, may not be shown at shows in England and Wales where the public is charged a fee for admission.

 

However, where a working dog has been docked in England and Wales under the respective regulations set out above, it may be shown where the public are charged a fee, so long as it is shown “only to demonstrate its working abilityâ€. It will thus be necessary to show working dogs in such a way as ONLY to demonstrate their working ability and not conformity to a standard.

 

A dog legally docked in England, Wales, Northern Ireland or abroad may be shown at any show in Scotland or Northern Ireland.
