I wish u luck on your endeavors , we lost our battle on tail docking I'n the uk ! And although I am now used to tails on my Rottweilers and Scwt , I have missed exhibiting at shows due to tail damage and water tail / staid tail syndrome ! Although the damage is only bruising and tempory , it means my dog Is I'n pain and discomfort ! If docking had been allowed my Rottweilers would never have to suffer the pain over and over again , as this will happen to them over the years . I have a bracco Italiano which I show and work with a full tail so I will keep u posted ! Our working cockers are legally docked , we have vast experience of seeing un docked
Working Springer spaniels with damaged full tails ! Not a pretty sight!
So although I am ok with full tails I'n show dogs , I would prefer to dock! Working dogs should always be docked !!!
But if sth Ireland is to be fully fledged fci. Most of their member countries have a docking ban ? So where does that leave them !!

I will never have a Dobermann with a tail.  I am spending $$$ to take a litter of my puppies to New Zealand to have them docked because the idiot politicians here would not listen to us!!
