All cropped dogs born after 30 June 2009 cannot be shown regardless
of the dog's country of birth. Cropped dogs born before 1 July 2009
can only be shown if the dog has been born in a country where ear
cropping is permitted. (Danish bred ear cropped dogs born after
1 January 1985 cannot be shown).

Tail docked dogs born after 1 June 1996 cannot be shown, regardless
of the dog’s country of birth. The prohibition also includes dogs that
have been docked for veterinary reasons, irrespective of whether
a veterinary certificate is presented.
