I actually sent in a Letter to the Editor yesterday pointing out that the writer of the article had an apparant anti-docking message in her article but there seemd no proof that tail-less Pem Corgis are handicapped in agility because they dominate the mini equivalent competitions in the USA against tailed dogs of roughly similar size and in fact are generally superior to their cousin, the tailed Cardigan Corgi. As well several Pems competed in the 2006 world champs in Europe and all performed exceptionally well in the mini dogs competitions.
I believe that the ultimate test of dog sports is Greyhound racing, and Greyhounds with docked tails seem not to be disadvantaged on the racing circuit against the dominant tailed Greyhounds.
