The Anti-Docking Alliance Web Site in the UK = Home Page
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- The Alliance was set up in 2000 because the new millennium seemed the appropriate time for abolishing the practice of docking dogs' tails.
- The docking of dogs' tails in only certain breeds has been considered a tradition. Many reasons have been cited for docking dogs' tails (such as rabies prevention; to avoid a dog tax for working dogs; to stop dogs being able to turn direction quickly; to prevent injury) but the most plausible and likely one is that of cosmetic preference.
- There are about 60 breeds of dogs still being docked in the UK, mainly puppies of breeders who exhibit in the show ring .
