    That is good news - especially in Scotland where so many terriers are used to "go to ground" hunting.

    Sensible given that there is really no good science on the important question, i.e., whether docking reduces injuries to an appreciable degree.

    What I'd really like to see is some good studies on this that would put the issue to bed.
