If a docking ban had to come in why should every dog be banned,.
The MLA's should discuss this matter further and before the bill/amendment is past they should say that all dogs docked after the date of that meeting ( 18 jan 2011 ) or the day the bill is actually going to be past. After this date only should their rule state that the dog should therefore not be docked. This will still allow exisitng docked dogs to be shown and the all Breed Championship and Breed Championship will still be able to run. As an total ban will ensure the loss of all shows in N Ireland as the entries will be to low and the shows will therefore run at a loss.
Please a little bit of common sense is required here. It worked in the UK so why would it not be allowed to work in N Ireland if done currently.
All us dog show people beg you to reconsider what you are doing and STOP, THINK and DISCUSS again.
PLEASE.
