Foxgun Tom 75 Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 (edited) The NL&RC have caved in in their determination not to show terriers of a certain age and docked terrier pups at their Scottish show at Cardross! See link: http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=151783 The NL&RC have now ammended their advert in the CMW to read eg: "PLEASE NOTE:THERE WILL BE CLASSES FOR TERRIER PUPSAND ALL CLASSES CAN INCLUDE DOCKED TERRIERS. The NL&RC apologise for any confusion from any former adverts!" There was no confusion? Scottish law allow's the showing of docked dogs and pup's. For four years the NL&RC showed a deep disregard for the laws of Scotland and Scottish terrier men "a situation that was deeply insulting" The NL&RC were made aware of Scottish legislation in the past and decided to ignore it? I and two other Scottish terrier men sought legal advice on the matter last week and were informed by a solicitor friend he'd be willing to raise an"INTERIM INTERDICT" (Scottish court order) to prevent the show going ahead! We decided against this course of action because it would adversely affect the great relationship Scottish terrier men have with their fellow hunters "the lurcher boys! I also had a unofficial meeting with a senior BASC representitive in the north of England last Wednesday, he assured me that is associates and organisers of Cardross would not be aware of the situation and he would inform them of the situation and endevour to resolve it!! The way I see it? the NL&RC are apologising for their previous adverts and not for their previous stance re: docked terriers and puppies in Scotland I've been asked if I'll be attending this show and the answer is a resounding no!! I'd rather stick sharp sticks in my eyes than support the NL&RC an organisation who like the labour party could'nt give a feck!! about Scottish terrier men or Scot's law I'll be helping organise my own club show (NEILSTON WORKING DOG ASSOCIATION) which takes place a day later on Sunday 9th of May. A real show with a real commitment to the real working dog enthusiast!! Tom Edited May 6, 2010 by Foxgun Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Foxgun Tom 75 Posted May 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 (edited) Don't give too much inference or weight to my input on the matter I think the reaction of members on this forum and others made the difference Tom Ps: I still think the NL&RC are "Fecking Idiots!! for apologising for the wrong reason? the advert rather for the offence caused to Scots terrier men over the years!!
