[glow=red,2,300][/glow] This lady came into my clinic I work at with a gorgous Doberman Pinscher. He was 8 months old and still had it's ear's wrap from the croping that happend at 9 weeks. The breeder had tried to crop them herself. One ear was a inch longer than the other and neither stood up on their own. We couldn't do anything because after 12 weeks the ears bleed to much. Later we found out the "breeder" had more then 30 dogs and was doing all the vet care herself. The thing that makes me the maddest is the lady the bought the dog got rid of it because the ears where wrong. I don't like cropping to begin with but to get rid of a dog because of ears! How stupid.

OMG! This woman is CRAZY! She should NOT be a breeder, she isn't a real breeder! I can't believe she would do something like that!

Well isn't that animal cruelty. To me that just upsets me. Also isn't ear cropping dangerious for reasons of infection, even when done at the right age. My good country vet before he died said that he always disliked doing that, but that was what the breed standard called for.
Now if someone cuts off my toe plainly put its gunna hurt.

I don't think that some people should have pets. Especially someone like this. Do they have any idea of how this hurts an animal. Love the pet for who they are, not for cosmetic reasons.

The "breeder" wanted to save money most likly. By doing it herself she wouldn't have to pay a vet.

OMG!!!!!!!! how aweful! Sometimes I wonder why some people even bother to call themselves animal "lovers" when surely they do not have a clue! We have 2 dogs who's daddy is a Rott and they look just like him. Neither of which we had cropped. I do not believe in cropping ANY animal for the sake of the "look" or "breed standards" I believe that if an animal is meant to have pointier ears or a shorter tail, they would be born that way.
I would turn that breeder in to animal welfare. to me, she has CLEARLY crossed the line.

Don't let me know who this person is. Being an animal person it wouldn't be pretty. It would be the battle of the wits, I will say that much. Hi Fox. I'm back...
