FCI General assembly 2025 Helsinki !!!
Just for the general public to know
We are back to the previous decision made in 2016 …
THE DECISION!!!!
Circular 8/2016 (dated 7/3/2016) which states:
1. Countries where a ban on showing cropped/docked dogs exists: in this case, the laws of the country being the highest authority, there is no possibility to show, at FCI sanctioned events, cropped/docked dogs of breeds customarily cropped/docked.
2. Countries where no ban on showing cropped/docked dogs exists: in this case, dogs of breeds customarily docked/cropped can be shown without any restriction, whether cropped/docked or not, at FCI sanctioned events, and there cannot be any discrimination, from the judges, between cropped and non-cropped dogs and between docked and non-docked dogs.
Dogs cropped and docked can be bred and shown in Pakistan. FCI previously announced it’s not allowed anymore today at general assembly they have decided to continue what was decided in 2016. Pakistan has no official law therefore pups can be cropped and allowed to be shown I. FCI affiliated show (kcp) shows
