Just curious as to why most working Terriers were traditionally docked - and indeed still can be - but not the Border Terrier? I presume it's to do with the prey but can anyone explain. Please note this is NOT a debate about docking merely a query about working terriers.

I had no idea that working Border's weren't exempt from the bill.

Stupid, rushed through thing that it was..... old woman wanders off grumbling

No I worded that badly :lol: meant why weren't Borders docked - they never have been but most other working Terriers are - not that they weren't exempt,doesn'at apply to them.

How odd. Always presumed that they'd just had the tail end taken off if I've ever thought about it at all (and not overly sure I ever have!). Border Dawn, where are you? Quick come and answer this question!
