For many years hunting breeds of gundog
puppies have had their tails docked to prevent the horrible damage
that can occur to long tails when hunting dogs are working.
Tail
docking is now illegal in England for any dog that is not
specifically bred for work. An exemption has been sensibly provided
for working gundogs. This ensures that a working bred English
gundog can still hunt safely without damaging his tail and the
suffering this causes.
Sadly the Scottish
parliament passed their tail docking law without providing this
vital exemption for Scottish working gundogs. An amendment to
this law is urgently needed now for Scottish spaniels and HPRs.
