I, for one, am THRILLED by them passing that. If these people were truly looking out for the interest of the breed, they would not continue this barbaric practice. Tail docking and ear cropping are nothing more than mutilation. People say the dogs can feel it...I say whatever. They are doing it because THEY like it, the dogs could care less. As for Mr. Wheeler?, I'm very glad to hear that he will no longer be breeding...what kind of a threat is that? As for the other breeders....can we say SPOILED BRAT? They need to get over it. I hope they continue to practice it and see where it gets them....hopefully with a stiff fine and a few days in jail, yep, that will really teach those lawmakers then. I think that article put the breeders in a bad light...they look like whiners. The world could do with a few fewer breeders....especially the backyard kind, although, these groups don't seem to fall into that category. It's like Great Danes and ear cropping....you are starting to see that less and less in the U.S., at least....people are starting to get a clue. I would rather see full tails and natural ears.

Ok, I'm done with my rant....that's just a REALLY sore subject with me (like I'm sure you figured out already. )

WAY TO GO AUSTRALIA!!!
