no vet would risk being struck off for something so stupid as openly doing that - and yes the RCVS would strike them off - oh and not a police officer, nice try.

Far too old for running around like that!

No of course they wouldn't, you're obviously very sheltered and also terribly naive.

Good luck!

 

[welshcobabe]

Yes I have seen puppies been docked, which is why in all my for 45 years of breeding dogs I would never have my dogs touched !

They all have their natural tails, the working dogs all do a full days work and I have never seen a dog with a tail injury.
A first class well trained working dog is a joy, I just like to see mine as nature intended.

I think we should just agree to disagree on this one.

Don't suppose your tall dark, handsome, not to mention wealthy!

Anyway, relevant..........
Long tailed dogs can sustain injury when working.
Docking in the UK is illegal unless performed by a reg vet. Yes it does still happen, as do a lot of other illegal practices. It does not make them right & as it has already been pointed out, openly admitting that you know someone who does perform a criminal act, can lead to further investigation & prosecution.
Some folk agree with the docking of working dogs, others don’t & are possibly blinkered by a perfect world of cute fluffy animals where nothing bad ever happens. They may just believe that their views are right. Maybe if more people were made aware of the reality there would be less ignorance.

 

[Tia]

Oh SM.....I just love that old saying "there's nowt so queer as folk".

 

[jj4y]

I for one would appreciate this thread getting back to the subject of docking!

I completely agree with you here.....100%!

Perhaps you could direct us to a link with statistics? From where I am standing, I am the only person here who owns and daily works a long tailed springer.

Highly doubtful!

Wealthy people generally do not stoop to threatening to sue someone because they ask a question about their sexual preference.

Can you tell us where you work your springer and through what cover and on what game?

That was not a question, it was abusive and slanderous - money attracts money - you can never have enough.

Di - don't give the game away, but thanks for the compliments, must buy you that G&T at Scone this year

Be good to catch up and have a natter.

If you find that slanderous I suggest you leave HHO now, its not the place for you, we're a lighthearted bunch who can have a good debate without taking anything to heart.

Fair enough to challenge someones views and opinions on a topic, but why does it have to get so personal?

Everybody has something to add to an open forum like this, so what gives one person the right to suggest someone leaves?

 

[MiLisCer]

slanderous - (used of statements) harmful and often untrue; tending to discredit or malign.

Since when have you been in charge~? I shall stay if I like.

There are enough adults mingled in with the children to at least have a sensible debate, without resorting to immature name calling and childish bickering.
