Title: Ordering a Dog from Europe
Post by: MB_722 on September 15, 2007, 03:14:27 PM: Say if I were to get a puppy from Europe and the dog usually would have its tail docked and ears cropped. Still possible to do this?

I think it depends on the dog.. My buddy growing up had huge thick doby's and they didn't crop the big males.. they looked just fine.. I think they actually looked great.

Yeah I decided not to crop my pits ears simply because i didnt want to mess with having to keep them taped and healing and worrying about if they would stand or not. She looks fine the way she is.

Post by: BigNBloated on September 21, 2007, 07:38:18 AM: yeah, the whole loss of expression thing really got to me, i love seeing the dogs ears go back in confusion or perk up or whatever else when something excites them. I didnt wanna see my baby with spike ears that dont move.
