TAIL DOCKING IS PROHIBITED IN NSW
Current laws in NSW (and most of Australia) now prohibit the docking of tails of any dog. Please do not ask any breeders to dock the tail of any puppy, as they would be committing an offence if they did so. For further information please visit this link:
 
Traditionally, tail docking was performed when the puppies were born or within days of being born. This was prior to their neurological development and caused no harm or distress to the puppies. If a tail is docked at any older age, this is no longer 'docking' but an amputation.
 
All forms of docking and amputation are now prohibited by law in NSW for routine, prophylactic or cosmetic reasons, and no ethical breeder or vet will perform this surgery. If the animals welfare is at stake - ie: dog or puppy has irreparable tail damage, then vets are permitted to perform an amputation, however this must be well documented.
 
Please respect the laws of this state, and don't promote or request the illegal docking of tails.
The club currently has anti-BSL stickers (as seen below) for sale for a gold coin donation. Please contact the secretary if you are interested in buying a sticker. Proceeds of the sale of these stickers are put into a BSL Fighting Fund. Your support for this important cause is appreciated.
