byrney 2 Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Went to Selby Game Fair yesterday and spent an hour watching the terrier showing, as i've just got a pup myself i thought i might give it a go later in the year. However when i read the rules in the program it states that no docked dogs under the age 12 months could be shown. I know this is the new ruling for the crufts type of shows, but surely the game fairs are aimed at working dogs not pets. And as no one is going to leave the tail on, and risk their animals health just to show their dog, this new ruling will spell the end of terrier showing. Bloody ridiculous if you ask me:protest: Quote Link to post

the_stig 6,614 Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 alot of shows just arnt havin puppy classes even with the proper paper work - paying public or not even saw one show had a sapling class 12-18 months kelmarsh i think ? i`ve judged already this year one pup with an undocked tail and it was feckin awfull alot of pups with paperwork wher`nt allowed to be shown show organisers will just cop out of havin puppy classes . looks like if you want to show your terriers workers or not you`ve gotta leave the tails on a lot of the lads at the show whe`nt sure which way to go with it some whr on about just takin the tip of the tails some whr`nt bothering with breeding some whr jackin showing . . how far do you take pups to get the tails done with the proper paperwork driving 3 day old pups half way arcross the country cant be good - how about getting a list of vets up on here ? say everyone phones round a dozen vets then post the results up - may not get many might be worth a try ? protest it`ll never happen terriermen stick together look at some the threads on here about terriers just turn into slanging matchs .
