For those of you who don't know about the bill currently making it's way through Parliament.

For a number of years now in this country it has been quite lawful to dock breeds of dog if the proceedure is undertaken by a Veterinary Surgeon. Some have declined to participate but others have given their services and continued to dock.

The Animal Welfare Bill includes proposed legislation to cease the proceedure of docking dogs.

The bill went before the House of Commons on 14th March 2006 when MP's voted for a ban on the docking of dogs leaving only exceptions for certain working dogs. The bill will now progress through to the House Of Lords, possibly by 18th April and how they vote will decide the outcome of docked breeds in this country.

Obviously if there is a total outright ban then the appearance of all the docked breeds including OES will be changed forever

The Bill is also believed to be legislating for compulsory vaccination of all domestic animals, which I personally find annoying as we have nothing in place for humans and how the hell do they think they are going to police such a decision?

i have a pure bred corgi who still has his tail, on one occasion at the vets the nurse asked what he'd been crossed with and quite often when out walking people remark what a nice retriever we have (have a golden retriever as well) but don't know what the corgi is just because of his tail.
