World Dog Show 2003 Ban on cropped or docked dogs Case before the Administrative Court in Gelsenkirchen dismissed - no exceptional ruling made for the World Dog Show 2003
With legal proceedings before the Administrative Court in Gelsenkirchen the VDH tried to gain an exceptional ruling to allow foreign dogs that are legally cropped or docked in accordance with the respective country laws to participate in the World Dog Show 2003.
After exhausting all legal possibilities - including an application to pass a preliminary order - and also including the services of a renowned administrative lawyer, the application of the VDH was dismissed.
This means that there will be no exceptional ruling regarding the exhibition ban for cropped or docked dogs at the World Dog Show 2003.
This means that the following regulations will also apply for the World Dog Show 2003.
In accordance with the "Tierschutz-Hundeverordnung" (animal protection dog regulations) from the 1st May 2002 dogs living in Germany or outside will be banned from participating at dog shows:
Ears cropped after the 01.01.1987.
Tail docked after 01.06.1998
(exception: dogs used for hunting in accordance with german law for the protection of animals).
