I totally agree Josie but this "was" one of the best kept secrets in the campaign to keep docking as I only found out about it after the event because so few people went to it.
I went to the hunting demo's in London and I certainly would have gone to London with a handful of GWP's but not sure who was the organiser but I know for a fact most of the "pro" GWP's people didn't know about it until afterwards!

In what part of his papers did you see that, Sharon?

I did say I was scanning his articles but on his first article he mentions buying two unrelated naturally short tailed Boxers and breeding those but all the puppies had full tails so he concurred that the short tails on these two were not necessarily affected by hereditary means. The actual bobtail line he mentions was the Corgi line. So I was not quite correct in my original email but nearly

It was organised by BASC, I don't remember where it was advertised but it was definitely on the BASC website. (TBH, it was actually fun to take Slate to central London and be in such a weird environment - I kept expecting to see pheasants flying over the HoP!)

I do think that the existing law for England and Wales will not be changed for the better - if anything I think it could change for the worse in respect of a total ban.
On the basis that initially the Welsh Assembly had a total ban in place for Wales and some very strong late campaigning made them bring in the same law that England had enabled the Welsh working dogs to be docked.
As far as I can see there is a glimmer of a hope that with enough campaigning and fighting the Scottish law could be changed, with an amendment, and allow the same docking choice for working dogs and at least bring it into line with the rest of the UK. So on that angle alone it has "got" to be worth another fight 
One thing is for sure it will never be completely over turned

Well as I said I resigned my BASC membership over their total disregard to the likes of myself with working dogs who also wanted to show. Plus if they hadn't been trying to fight the CDB at the same time they could have used the CDB and their database to circulate the protest to a far bigger audience. Shame - a real wasted opportunity
