Thread: Time to submit against tail docking and dew claw removal ban (they never give in )

Ducdog, you raise an interesting conundrum in that there are people who will dock puppy tails who are not members of the NZCDB...the audits and procedures for members of the NZCDB are, to say the least, stringent...those in the law making department of this country obviously have the condition where what you don't see, doesn't matter...out of sight, out of mind...interesting that Scotland are repealing the docking of working dogs...

With regard to neo-nat puppies being taken to veterinary clinics within three days (72hours) of birth for tail removal with the use of anesthesics is neither safe practise nor good husbandry in my view...and if the puppy dies as a result of the anesthesia what recompense is there to the breeder...
