One of my dogs came from this breeder.
Please note that some of these dogs have naturally short (bob) tails, as some Tenterfields are born this way. All mine have long tails. I campaigned for the banning of tail-docking.
Tail-docking was finally outlawed here a couple of years ago.
There would still be many adult dogs with docked tails around. To prove pups have not been tail-docked the breeders now supply DNA certificates to show the pup has the short-tail gene.
All my dogs have natural long tails. When I picked out my pedigree Tenterfield dog (now 7 years old) at one day old, I refused to let the breeder dock his tail! The breeder was so shocked. "The judges won't like him, he won't win anything."
I didn't care. No one was docking my pup's tail. He happily wags his long tail at me most of the day, every day. :)
I am appalled that you had reduced a sentence on a cruel act of a childs goat!
Maybe you should have someone give you better visuals and the trauma of a child for you to see your judgement was not a good one!

This is a link to a news story. In the capitol city of Bisbane in state of Queensland, Australia, a man stole a child's pet goat, and beheaded it then took it to a church and photographed it. He was given a one year sentence in court for animal cruelty. On appeal to the Supreme Court, the sentence was reduced to six months. The judge considered the one year term "manifestly excessive"
This is some of the article, sourced from the ABC website.
"RSPCA stunned by reduced sentence for goat beheading
Posted Tue Jun 3, 2008 6:04pm AEST
The RSPCA says it is stunned the Supreme Court in Brisbane upheld the appeal of a man who was sentenced to 12 months in prison for beheading a pet goat.
The Supreme Court Judge Margaret White...said the original sentence was "manifestly excessive".
But the RSPCA...says the judge is wrong. "There's a group of people, they were drinking heavily, they went and got a little girl's pet goat, decapitated it, then took it to a church then took it to a local store and took photos of it...It wasn't a random act so it was certainly well thought out what they did. The original sentence was very fair, it was a tough sentence for a very cruel act."
“
Manifestly excessive? What about the pain and terror of the animal who was beheaded by drunks? What about the distress and trauma to the little girl who lost her friend in such a cruel way? Was not their apin “manifestly excessive/
I am outraged that a convicted animal torturer is allowed a reduction in his prison sentence.
I will be sending an email to lodge my protest over the court's action.
I think it is important that the authorities know that people from all over the world, not just my country Australia, care that courts everywhere treat animal cruelty as a serious crime.
I ask everyone who agrees with me to please email their protest to this email address for the Attorny General of Queensland.
Also, Queensland relies heavily on overseas tourism and overseas visitors do spend a lot of money while holidaying there, Its international reputation is very important to that state. A great deal of money is spent advertising the beautiful beaches, tropical islands and holiday resorts. (I should know, I was born there!) Please let Queenslanders know how you feel about the upholding of animal welfare laws.
Please send you emails to:

Attorney General, Queensland.
