Putty Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Knapp vet Hospital did my Boxers. $519. Great job though. Free after care and rewrap visits. Be prepared for a process. I'll never do it again to a dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B3NN3TT Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 I've had great service from PetLovers AH in Reynoldsburg, on Main Street just off Brice. Worth calling to check and see if they do. Although if you aren't going to show the dog in conformation, why bother? The Europeans don't do it... it's really a bloody mess and a BIG headache.

pg Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 That is such a cruel thing to do to an animal. There is no point to doing it, and it is very painful for the dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDHG940 Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Can anyone recommend a place to get ears cropped on a doberman? I have three dobermans, and I wouldn't crop their ears. I just like the natural ear look. Also, I'm pretty sure getting a dogs ears cropped is a long process instead of one procedure, but I could be wrong.

Its not my dog anyway, its a co workers. welcome to posting on a public forum Sorry some of us don't believe in animal cruelty.\ Idiot. That being said, your coworkers vet should be able to do it, and based on the fact that you are asking for this person, about this, i would imagine they don't have a regular vet.

TheHaze Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 What other benefit does cropping have other than suiting the owner's personal taste? Is he literally physically attracted to the dog? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 What other benefit does cropping have other than suiting the owner's personal taste? Is he literally physically attracted to the dog? No reason....IMO, not worth it, old-school style, not the in-thing any more and cruel. With Dobi's it will actually funnel water into their ear when it rains so they often don't like going outside when it does. They need to be done before the pup is 12wks and even if done by an expert, there's no guarantee they will even stand. The process of training the ears is a PIA too as it will take many weeks of taping them. What's worse is it makes 'puppy-hood' miserable for the dog and quite honestly the owner too. The joy of a very young happy pup is lost and that IMO, makes it not worth it. Not to mention, I've seen several rescue pups (mainly boxers) that had hack jobs done and scars in place due to infections due to poor owner attention after the crop.

I saw a puppy at my vet who had his ears taped up-right; is THAT from cropping them?! He looked miserable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8 Beast Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 What I'm saying is humans like you are so lazy that you would have a dog fixed rather than training them on the proper use of condoms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
