Dog owner ‘gutted’ after pet banned over amputated tail

The owner of a dog banned from Crufts because its tail was amputated has said she was “gutted” by the decision.

Three-year-old Dalmatian vizsla cross Gwen has happy tail syndrome, which meant she would wag her tail so hard it caused breaks.

Owner and nurse Sophie Scott-Thomas, 32, from Merthyr Tydfil, had Gwen’s tail amputated on welfare grounds following advice from a vet.

But this meant Gwen could not compete in the contest.

Ms Scott-Thomas said: “We were absolutely gutted, obviously there’s so much work that goes into training.”
