The FCI has given the organisation of their World Championship to the city of Hamar. In Norway competition is forbidden for dogs with docked tails. That's why a lot of excellent teams cannot participate. What a mistake !!! Stop the docking and cropping, not the docked dogs !!

Feb 4, 2008 - The whole argument that you try to grab the ears is just silly in my opinion. A dobermann doesn't have long spaniel ears, come on. If anything, by making them erect you leave long, erect tips to grab, instead of hanging ears close to the body ;) Do you have solid proof of natural ears being a problem, or are you just repeating something someone else has told you to defend cropping?

Sep 21, 2008 - I love that law. Dogs should have tails. America needs to catch up to all the UK and Australia and pass this law. Then people will not be surprised to hear that docked dogs are not allowed in competition, because all dogs will have tails as they deserve!

Stop cutting the tails of your dogs and you're allowed to compete, easy as that If it's natural (like boxers) then they should be allowed to compete.
agilitytosca Says:
Dec 14, 2008 - None of us want to cut de tails, but in 1999 we couldnot buy a poodle with a tail. It is a very good law to forbid this. But you can not punnish the dogs from the early days.

Dec 26, 2008 - That's right. lokaggwow - Boxers don't have a natural bobtail idiot.

Jan 2, 2009 - Ah too bad you can't compete, I like the look of docked tails and if done when they are a few days old it is similar to what we do to poor human boy babies!

Aug 11, 2009 - I agree absolutely with the video! And, IMHO, it's not a TRUE World competition if the best are not allowed to compete. Right???

Feb 4, 2008 - Did you know that a recent study showed that ear infections are the third most common reason for a vet visit in GSDs? If the erect ears are so good you'd think it'd be a much smaller problem, right? If you have a scienfitic study to back up your proof that cropping prevents ear infection I'd like to see it. I can back up mine.
