Thread: Review of the Animal Welfare Act regarding Tail Docking

yes they can be docked legally, except for scotland which followed swedens example.
what it did do was actuallly divide the hpr's into working and show.. some kennels over there still show and trial/work but the shows they can attend are limited....... hence the docked and denied movement over there.

worse case over here only the working kennels will follow the uk example, and for that to happen we need to get the spaniels onto different registers within the nzkc.

The registry doesn't matter.

If enacted it will be a law that applies regardless of how the dog is registered or even if it isn't registered at all.

The NZKC opposes the ban.
