BASC Countryside Fair, Port of Menteith


Recommended Posts


Why!! would any true working dog enthusiast bother with this?? when a well respected Scottish Club is having its annual lurcher and terrier show on the same day, with the clubs emphasis on working dogs and no restrictions on docked pups or young terriers that have been docked

 

How stupid is this? it isa direct quote from the latest Countrymans Weekly forthcoming events page re: this Lurcher and Terrier show on the 10th of May at Cardross,

 

"Please note: No Terriers docked after 21 March 2007 to be shown. also there will be no puppy class's"

 

What the hell!! are BASC and the NLRC playing at!! The showing of docked pups is legal in Scotland, are they trying to start some kind of precedent here??

 

In Scotland there are no showing restrictions. Whilst there is a total ban on tail docking in Scotland, there are no restrictions on the showing of legally docked dogs. So owners of legally docked dogs may show them at any show in Scotland, regardless of whether the public pay an admission fee[/size]All working dogs are welcome at Neilston Working Dog Association show, including pups, held on the same day as the fiasco above

Ps:

Forgot to add: If my club or one of its members was to ask an exhibitor who's showing a docked pup at our show (a question highly unlikely to be asked), is that pup legally docked?? and the exhibitor say's yes thats enough for us with regards to the law in Scotland, we as a club are not there to enforce this ludicrous law or ask questions in relation to anyones dog or obliged to ask for any paperwork in relation to any dog! The onus is on the exhibitor to make sure his/her dog is legally docked and it is not a matter of concern for organisers of Lurcher and Terrier shows here!!
