shropshire dan 467 Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 There isn't an out right ban on docking , gun dogs and terriers can still be done That's what I thought? I think you have to produce a gun license and the dog must be done before 6 weeks old. That's what happened with my cocker anyway Atb Dan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

neil cooney 10,416 Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Yes, the new Animal Health and Welfare bill 2013 makes docking illegal but there's exemptions for some working breeds and docking can only be done by a vet. Where does animal health stand on bringing un-inoculated 6 day old pups into a vets surgery ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Where does animal health stand on bringing un-inoculated 6 day old pups into a vets surgery ? . I asked this question of who i class a good vet he said The chances of a pup catching any thing in the space of time its in his surgery is very very low I get mine done day after birth , Am very lucky to have a REAL VET Quote Link to post Share on other sites
