The proposed act will not prevent dogs docked before the legislation date from showing only those that are docked after the date of legislation and by all accounts our puppy of now will be approaching veteran by the time this legislation takes affect!

 This may well be true but it will be the start of the end. At the meeting which took place last year in the Balmoral Hotel about the animal welfare act, docking was not even supposed to be on the agenda. However as you know it was, as a side line. We have to show our objection and try to inform these people better of what is invovled and how it may save the dog from tail damage later in life. This act will be sneaked in under the raydar if we dont stand our ground now. We may not be able to stop this act but we have to try. We appreciate all your help and information on this matter.
