I am against tail docking for non-therapeutic purposes BUT working dogs need their tails docked. Will the ban be complete or will it exclude working dogs? I have seen many working dogs who have not their tails docked, with terrible tail wounds and wouldn't want that number of wounds to increase. However, it is very difficult to ascertain which young pups are going to be working dogs. Difficult one to decide!
