I hate to see decent terrier lads at loggerheads over something which isn't really their making, especially with all the REAL enemies we have out there. But unfortunately the lunatics have been in charge of the asylum for the past 13 years and we're all feeling the end result of that in many, many ways and it's no wonder people feel up tight.

 

But please don't anyone underestimate the severity of the penalties which can and are likely to be handed out under this Act. The worst to date, of which I'm aware, is the woman who docked 8 puppies herself and for that received a 2 month jail sentence, several thousand pounds in costs awarded against her, plus a 10 year ban on keeping dogs.

 

Compare that to the "person" who just this week has been let off with defacing a war memorial with Al Quaida slogans because they weren't considered to be of a racial or religious nature.

 

I guess at this point you start to realise just how loony the lunatics really are !!!

You cannot under any circumstances dock a litter of pups born in Scotland in England " thats!! a criminal offence!!" what is legal is!! if you take your bitch and she whelps in England and you can provide evidence that the pup's will be used for pest control etc: that's legal!!

 

Don't for any reason take pup's bred in Scotland into England to be docked as "you are commiting a criminal offence"!!

fisrtly cleanspade i know loads of workin dog men from scotland and they havent rolled over to the docking law its easy find a vet in england to do it for you perfectly legal i have looked at all show threads from north of the border and have yet to see a dog without a docked tail even the pup classes i havent discriminated against anyone i have just stated i will not roll over like it looks you have why start an argument i didnt as for biting your banger come on mate act your age not your shoe size hunting has become illegal under the labour government have we rolled over no.if everyone was like you the working terrier would be in big trouble big trouble in deed i wish you every bit of luck in the world with your undocked dogs working them underground the way they were bred too with tails but i dont envy your vet bills at the end of the season it would be cheaper to drive to a vet in england to get them docked legitimatly would it not

 

firstly i dont yet own an undocked terrier my terriers are either old enough to be legally docked or have been bought in legally docked. if and when i breed a litter they will not be docked. as its illegal here. i was not aware that i could drive across the border and legally dock a litter of scottish bred pups. (could someone please clarify this?) i know a lad that works two undocked terriers and its only the usual places that take the odd nick the tails seam fine. i have nothing against making a stand for your rights but i believe you descriminating against undocked terriers is not the way forward. however few it would be easy to say lads from scotland drop me a pm and we can sort an exemption for you to come down for a day . maybe there arnt any but its the thought that counts

 

i feel really sorry for you scottish boys,as if its hard enough with this bloody ban on hunting,you cant even legally have you whelps docked.what the hell is going on in this country!

dread to think what things will be like in say 10yrs
