idiotic Crufts vet

Postby Maxine on Sat Mar 13, 2010 7:12 am

Can you actually believe that the "Crufts vet" said on the programme last night that any "docked dog over the age of three must have been docked illegally" :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

What sort of an imbecile have they employed :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: myself and several others have of course e.mailed a complaint - I do hope I never have to use his services as a veterinary surgeon as I certainly would not feel comfortable relying on his diagnosis if he can make such incorrect ridiculous sweeping statements :x :x :x :x :x :x

I'm confused now.
Maxine did you mean to type "dogs docked UNDER the age of three"?
That would make more sense to me but what I dont understand is the KC website says any legally docked dog can not be shown at any fee paying event unless its for the demonstration of working ability only.
Does that mean you can't show a genuine working dog under 3?

I watched via live stream and thought Frank Kane did a great job.
