I don't have a docked breed so it won't affect me personally. What do people with docked breeds feel about this? Is it a blanket ban or will working gundogs be exempt?
Personally I would like to have been left with the choice, of whether to dock or not. In the past breeders had choice, if they were anti-docking, they could leave the tails natural. Now we are all forced to do the same thing.
So it is legal to dock before 5 days old if the dog can be proven to be a working dog....fair enough....what happens with duel purpose dogs which are shown and worked...would it still be illegel to show or is that #7 in section 6?
