I am posting a link to a petition I have been asked to sign to try and re-instate tail docking of working dogs in Scotland under regulations, please take a minute to read and sign :-

Hi,

I wanted to draw your attention to this important petition that I recently signed:

"Petition to reinstate tail docking for working dogs in Scotland"

[url]http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/taildocking?e [/url

I really think this is an important cause, and I'd like to encourage you to add your signature, too. It's free and takes less than a minute of your time.

Thanks

I just wondered if there is any validity to having signatures from people living elsewhere in the UK?

Yes the more signatures the better, surely signatures from elsewhere can't be a bad thing ?

I was involved in the various petitioning and demonstrations outside parliament in the lead up to the ban so obviously I will sign this petition and will be getting as many other people to do so. I do hope, however, that should the ban be partially or fully reversed, that there is no clause about showing like there is south of the border.

Sue's question is appropriate because when I was involved in the collection of signatures last time round, it was pointed out to us that whilst ALL signatures are needed, those from people resident in Scotland are likely to be viewed in a stronger light.

This will get you straight there.

Personally I think the situation in Scotland is far clearer than in England and Wales. We cannot dock, there is no grey area - and any dog can be shown, whether docked or not. I don't like my breed with tails, so I will hope I can keep a nice natural bobtail. Why not follow Dr Bruce Cattanach's example instead?(Steynmere Boxers - documented on the 'net http://www.steynmere.com/BOBTAILS.html) All breeds have had others introduced to improve them so why not the short tail?
