DEFRA Qualifies Tail Docking Position For Agility Dogs

Defra (the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs), has clarified that dogs with docked tails may take part in all agility trials in England and Wales, including those where the public have paid for admission. There is no change to the position in Scotland where legally docked dogs have never been banned from events where the public pay to enter.
