The Dogs Australia Executive Committee has requested for the following email, which was circulated in December 2021, regarding FCI Circular 57/2021, to be recirculated (click on link below), to alert all Member Bodies that the effective date of this FCI decision is 1 January 2025 and will only apply to FCI Shows.

Further, the FCI Executive Director, Mr Yves De Clercq, has advised there is no FCI position on cases where a dog has had a damaged tail and it has been docked.  He further clarified that it will depend on the Judges and the host country/national canine organisation law.  If, for example, a Dobermann with a docked tail enters the ring, then it will be up to the Judge to decide what to do in case he is provided with a duly-signed veterinary certificate.
