can you post a link for the parvo outbreaks, It would be handy, I had remembered someone metioned it before, but couldnt find anything, with rottys being more prone to parvo it would be useful to know what areas have outbreaks, I had a chat with James my vet the other day about parvo and he told me its not just rotts who are more prone to it, he said any breed of dog that is black and tan is more likely to have less immunity from it,,,it makes you think eh!

You seem to be sugeesting that the docking ban should be overruled because people won't buy undocked pups, well thats the whole point, they will, because if they REALLY like that breed for the right reasons (ie not just a 'look) then they will still pursue getting a pup, even, horror of horrors, if it has a tail!

Why do you think it has been banned?

It hurts the pups. Therefore is is right that there is a ban IMO.
