When I got my new pup the breeder was saying that he thinks it will be outlawed in NZ by the end of the year.

When my last GSP was in his last year's I had him at the vet.

I started talking about docking with the vet as I was going to get another pup to try and bring some life into my old mate.

The vet vet asked how I would like it if she cut my finger off and ranted when I asked if she docks.

I was gobsmacked and said you can't be serious and she got even more angry.

I haven't been back to that place since.
Don't think I would be welcome after my retort anyway.😆

who,d a thunk it was the haggis bashers that would use some commonsence before anyone else.
country vet???
probably gelds horses and sells docking stuff for farmers tho.
wonder if its the same prat who said dogs cant handle bones at all.

cow tails are not supposed to be docked now as it was done to stop be flicked in the face when milking but lambs are done as it is for the health and wellbeing of the lambs so why not hunting breeds of dogs for the same reason?

true but given a cow could and would shit as piss down every other part of your anatomy I think tail docking was given up and restricted to to only cows with exceedingly long broken or injured tails, thus it being considered as shutting the stable door......... with all the other crap they can do and on you
nothing quite so altruistic berger243 mainly its done to cut down on shearing and crutching hassles but it does lessen dag carriage and blow fly strike in the bum region as a happy extra.
plus fat tails cooked on a bit of corrugated iron are bloody tasty not to mention mountain oyters
now if we did that auzzie mulesing crap that is some heinous shit and they were against it id agree given there are chemical methods to fix the reasons they do it

A town vet. Our farmers use a different one. Local vet that has been around for years.

She was Irish or a Scot herself iirc. It has been a few years since I was last in there.

know the type I'm having a running argument with a chch vet regarding the missus little pooch and my belief he has kennel cough .
she,s fucked about even tho I know the lady he came from don't vaccinate and her dogs are full of it.
we eliminated everything besides dengue fuckin fever and incurable crotch rot.
then the other day she says we better treat him for kennel cough
really says I all magnanimous and forgiving '' don't know why we didn't do it it the first place'' says she then adds.''you should have brought him in sooner'''
