Re: New Pennsylvania law to stop tail docking...

I just read the dog draft law (my eyes are bugged out). No where does is state about tail docking and all that stuff.

It does require documentation. Kennels must be licensed. Anyone harboring, selling, buying of 26 dogs or more of any age in a years time must apply for the license. Through information you give, they will classify you to a kennel group. Licensed kennels can not harbor, sell, buy and transport dogs from an unlicensed kennel. Any dog entering Pa from out of state/commonwealth must have a health certificate. New dogs entering a licensed kennel must show proof of health certificate, documentation where the dog came from and discription of dog. The dog must be quarintined until given approval by a licensed Vet. All Licensed kennels must keep records of each dog that enters the facility for up to two years. (meaning if a dog enters the kennel and only stays for 4 wks you must keep info of the dog for 2 years) The breed, age, marking, sex, health, where it came from, where it went to, date it entered and left the kennel.
Documentation of exercise must be noted for each dog in kennel. 20 minutes per day per dog. Notation of a leash work or play run must be noted as well.

The kennel size requirements will be larger. They have certain requirements for outside facilities and inside facilities. Lighting and electrical requirements. Ventilation and drainage requirements. Footing requirements to prevent muddy areas. List goes on. I don't see anything about tail docking.
