Traditionally, tail docking was performed when the puppies were newly born within days. This was prior to their neurological development and caused no harm or distress to the puppies. If a tail was docked at any older age, this is no longer refered to as “docking”, but an amputation. All forms of docking and amputation are now prohibited by law in NSW for routine, prophylactic or cosmetic reasons, and no ethical breeder or vet will perform this surgery. If the animals welfare is at stake – ie: dog or puppy has irreparable tail damage, then vets are permitted to perform an amputation, however this must be well documented.
Visitors are welcome to come and watch and we warmly welcome other dog breeds to join in on our training nights..
