Docked Dogs

Dogs which were docked before 6th April 2007:

If your dog was docked either in the UK or in a foreign country
before 06 April 2007 then it may compete at all Kennel Club licensed
events.

Dogs which were docked on or after 6th April 2007:

If your dog was docked on or after 6th April 2007 (irrespective of
where it was docked) it will not, under the law, be permitted to be
shown at any show in England or Wales where the public are admitted
on payment of a fee.

However, if your dog was legally docked either in the UK or in
another country on or after 06 April 2007, you will be permitted to
compete with it at:

(a) all shows held in Scotland

(b) all shows held in Northern Ireland

(c) those shows held in England and Wales where the public do not pay
to be admitted

Shows where the public are admitted on payment of a fee:

All shows which charge the public for entry must state this on the
show schedule and entry form - but you should check carefully whether
or not your dog is eligible before entering.

Cropping

No dog with cropped ears is eligible to compete at any Kennel Club
licensed event.
