Why do people who have no or very little knowledge of dog showing and breeding feel they have the right to impose their laws on us. Have any of them ever thought of sitting down and discussing it in depth with the experienced breeders. Maybe then they would be aware of the positive aspects of docking and the future suffering that maybe inflicted on dogs that are not docked. If they contacted vets in England they would also be aware of the increased number of amputations required on older dogs who has suffered tail damage later in life. Why should we be penalised for docking our dogs when it was legal at the time!!!!!
