well,if i was getting a Dobermann i wouldnt get the tail docked or the ears chopped,i can see some of the benifits of doing such but i want my dog to be a dog not a fashion accessory.
i love how overly defensive people get about chopping of their dogs tail. to be clear - i think its your choice, but don't be guided by ad hominem overly defensive youtube comments. some things to consider - the practice is illegal in some countries (ie UK). detrimental effects of docking have been researched and documented - google "dogs with docked tails can grow up".
OMG seriously dont insult dobermans comparing to humans!!!! they are absolutly amazing i had 2 and now i just have 1 my tito is my life he is amazing!!!!! and ppl is mean they just talk without thinking! they are absolutly amazing!!! i love dobermans :D are so clever!!!! and loyal and lovely really! is lovely ur dog xxx :D
What a gorgeous Doberman! People can take their personal opinions about tail docking and ear trimming and stick them where the sun doesn't shine! Beautiful dog!
You obviously love the dog but cropping and docking a dog is a very barbaric practice. Its actually illegal in most European countries... Beautiful dog btw.
hey dont worry about the negative comments i have had dobbies all my life all cropped ear and chopped tails some ppl just assume the worst and need to get a life
i have a rottweiler and he is going to pass away soon and i am making a slide show soon and you should really check it out. my rottweiler has been with me since i was 2 years old. it is really sad when your loved family member passes away. but it is nice to remember the amazing memories that these beautiful animals leave behind.
cant people stop commenting saying they shouldnt be putting tape on there ears its there dog! Everyone video i watch about these dobermans theres always a comment moaning about something! One day when the dog passes they will look back at these and smile! So if you dont have anything nice to say then dont write it.
Cropped ears also has prevent ear infection. Go do some research before you start criticizing someone. Bunch hippies fighting everyone who don't agree with something but they don't even know what they talking about.
@elliotfmx if it comes from a good blood line you have to do it , and race it or bring it to test like working permit , or breeding procedure type of and there is many more
@NABNLIFE keeps tail from breaking yes it does happen. and for the ears keeps other dogs burglears from grabing their floppy ears with that being said this happen within 2 weeks and does not cause pain to the puppy b/c the nerves are still young and not fully devloped
@MrAlabamanation Even a newborn puppies nerves in the tail are enough developed to feel pain. And a dogs tail has many important functions. It is used for communication and balancing the dog. If you knew that there is a chance that you're legs would break would you chop them off to prevent it? That would be pointless know wouldn't it... You guys should check you're facts.
@miqosaavalainen idk are u circumsized tell me if so how much did it hurt. oh wait i bet u cant remember no the dogs are not in pain. and no when they are 3 days old(when cut tail) its not developed fully the bones aint grown in if cut while older the dogs can bleed out why done while pups 3. and the dogs get anetheisia and pain meds(for ears) in case of any pain and iv breed dobs and got them docked they dont flinch at all or whine no pain when it happens dont need to check iv done it enough
@MrAlabamanation The dog might not feel pain, but it is still pointless, since a cut tail gives a dog a lot of social problems, because other dogs can't see its mood. And I don't condone cutting up a dogs ears for purely aesthetic purposes.
@miqosaavalainen the dog has no social problems with docked tails dont break tails. ear cropped helps with ear mites and more if u didn't know fyi and burglars cant grab tail and ears does have a point learn the history of these dogs they are gaurd dogs and working dogs(good inside pets).also i have owned 5 dobermans in my life so this is experiance speaking all with other kinda dogs (no social problems all docked in cropped)
@MrAlabamanation There are so many better solutions to ear mites than cutting up the dogs ears... And cutting off a body part because there is a risk of it being injured is just about the most useless thing I can think off. I don't have any personal experience, but the articles I've read have all concluded that docked dogs have problems meeting new dogs that aren't docked. people say its for the good of the dog, but there is absolutely no reason to dock or crop a dog.
@miqosaavalainen more stuff then ear mites with the ears. if a dobermans tail breaks u cant put it back in place has to be cut off and when they aren't a puppy their is problems with the docking kinda why u do it before the injury happens. and exactley u read articles articles are mainly opionions ppl that talk about it bad has probaly never owned a cropped or docked dog. and like i said no communication problems my brothers doberman with docked tail and my pit without get along well try another
@miqosaavalainen the docked tail still wags and it gets tucked under and they dont just go by tail the way the other dog acts aggresive or not. Ears give them way better earing search and rescue dogs dont get their floppy ears cut as bad in briars b/c they are cropped and not flopping everywhere
@MrAlabamanation AGREED 100% with your comment. The new "balance" and" can't socialize with a short tail" is all new peta handbook poppycock.... When our Doberman goes to the dog park his short tail does NOT hamper any communication with other K9s. Most of these tree-huggers cant fathom in their little closed minds that Dobermans were and bred to be working dogs, Our dog is FAMILY and HOME protection FIRST; then family pet. We love him as a family member; but He is always on guard,
Puppies come home from ear surgery and are playing the same day. I probably wouldn't agree with how some of you people raise your dogs or children, but I don't don't try forcing my beliefs down everyone else's throats!
Do any of the idiots posting negative comments realize that humans bred upright ears out of dogs by accident? Wolves, coyotes, and dog breeds that were barely tampered with still have upright ears. Go find some one who got their child's ears pierced and whine at them for a while! Oh wait, you are probably people who have done that!
@marygipe No need to defend your loving and responsible ownership to the left leaning, tree-hugger element. Your Doberman looks happy, healthy, and not suffering any emotional stress or problems from the crop and dock. Nice vid, Beautiful dog. I commend you. Bo is a PERFECT example of what the breed standard is, should be; and always will be.
You wouldn't mutilate your own ears or your family's ears would you? Why do it to an animal?? Do you think they don't feel pain or have any feelings? This is outrageous and should be reported.
Maybe you should worry about the children starving or getting raped in Africa rather than stupidly bitching about someone docking ears on THEIR dog, not yours. If you think that it's wrong, then don't get a Doberman and dock it's ears. I dont see why people are so ignorant and think that their opinion truly matters- you just make yourself sound really stupid... Go help the animals that were used to test the product you put in your hair or makeup... your bitching could maybe be helpful.
This is animal cruelty!!!! I felt sick watching this. How the fuck could someone do this to an innocent animal and call them their 'best friend'. You should be in jail.
people need to stop cropping there dogs ears, how would you like it if someone just mutilated a peice of your body just because the original way it was didn't fit into your opinion of looking good, nature is the way it is for reason so people need to stop making it into something they want instead of whats right.
He is a beautiful Doby! But the best thing about this video (slideshow) is the fact that his family loves him greatly. I wish all dogs could have such love and care.
Is it really still allowed to cut the ears and tail? Its forbidden in my country you know why? Dogs communicate a lot with ears and tails. If you clip and cut them they are often misunderstood by other dogs. Plus its totally unneccesary.
@memyselfandi2311 Ear cropping involves cutting off up to two thirds’ of the earflap and is done when the dog is 4-6 months old. It is common among Great Danes, Dobermans, Schnauzers, Boxers, and Miniature Pinschers. After the procedure, which requires full anesthesia, splints and tape are used to hold the ear in an upright position. Without cropping; the ears will flop down.
@DominoShadow that's all very well and good, but you should read a book written in THIS century. Ear cropping is banned now in many places around the world because its no longer considered necessary, and most civilized countries have recognised this. Most people only have it done because they think it LOOKS better. Our Dobe's never had their ears cropped and they had no problems. What's wrong with regular vet checkups?
@melodramie I don't know what books you are reading but JUST because a government makes somethign illigal, doesn't mean it should be.
Cropping isn't always necessary, I have said this before. But sometimes it is. Tail docking is usually necessary on docked breeds but not in rare cases.
Honestly if I have to see ONE more poor dog with its ears hacked off and bandaged.. I mean its SO illegal in most places now! You shouldn't be proud of these photos. You've allowed a beautiful dog to be mutilated for pointless cosmetic reasons :(
Bo is a beautiful doberman. To bad some of the comments left are by really dumb people. I hope to have a doberman like Bo someday. Nice job on the ears by the way!! I can tell he is very pampered and I bet he loves you very much.
Bo is beautiful and if he depressed, he hides it really well from what I can see in those slides....wonder how much college is involved these days to become a doggy psychiatrist:)
@MrBlackEp3 They don't think they are human actually. Humans like to humanize them because it makes them feel better about themselves. But treating a dog as though it is a human is damaging to the dog.
guys cropping and docking is part of there breed. if you dont like it dont crop and dock. i had a doby and cropped and docked his ears and tail and he lived the life of a king. theres nothing wrong with it and theres nothing wrong with not doing it
Humans like to humanize creatures and by doing so they lead them to an unbalanced life. What humans think would be a totally fulfilling and wonderful life is not the same for a dog.
They are animals, not humans and should be treated accordingly.
I adore dogs, they are my life but humans need to learn that their dogs don't think they are humans, it's the humans who humanize the dogs. It's not cute, it's very damaging for the dog's psychology.
@DominoShadow how is it damaging to the dog? no one can read a dogs mind. plus, all dogs have different personalities. you never know when you might come across a dog who doesnt like eating out of a bowl.
@DominoShadow ok, well. i love my dog (well i did, he passed) but if YOU loved your dog (if you ever had or have one) what are you in love with? almost ALL animals have personalities, their likes and dislikes. agression is a personality trait. some humans are agressive and thats part of their personality. some dogs are lazy, some humans are lazy.explain.
@moodygirl900 Um, you don't know ANYTHING about dogs.
Dogs and people are completely different. Dogs have no intellect.
If a dog is aggressive or skittish, anxious or nervous it is NOT his personality. That was unfortunately how it was raised and now forever has to be without a state of calm.
A dog who refuses to eat out of his bowl or is a finicky eater, that is NOT a personality trait. That is a dog who has no leader.
@DominoShadow i did not say a dog not eating out of his bowl is a personality trait. that's bacically a choice the dog is making.don't put words in my mouth. your basically saying a dog has no feelings. beg all you want, unless you specialize in dogs or something, tell me anything.
And YOU said a dog who refuses to eat out of his bowl has that personality. I did not put words in your mouth dear. read the question before you answer it.
Dogs do have feelings. Not the same feelings humans have. And they don't have the same emotional ties to those feelings either. Please stop replying -_- you are making yourself look silly.
@DominoShadow sigh, i said "you never know when you might come across a dog who doesnt like eating out of a bowl."(why dont you just check? no one has perfect memory) dont call me "dear" and why would i care what people think of me? its youtube. plus, you didnt have to respond to me in the first place so, why dont you stop replying, you are making yourself look silly.
@moodygirl900 You said "all dogs have different personalities" and then when onto to talk about the dog bowl thing hun.
And I'm not making a fool of myself I was just giving you a bit of info about dog psychology. It's not my fault you went all defensive. But it's ok I'll allow you to continue leading an ignorant life. Not my problem.
@DominoShadow i'm gonna say this nicely. just leave me alone? what you say is worst than an action. this whole argument was me asking about how something was damaging to the dog. you shouldnt go around calling people ignorant. you know nothing about me and my life, unless your some kinda stalker. sigh, i would write more but i rather not waste the energy i have left on you. dont write back, all your gonna do is write more insults
@DominoShadow Folks, Even for being a bit brash at points- no offense- DominoShadow has a point. Dogs need to be treated as if they are in a pack to feel a fulfillment in their life. You cannot treat a dog like a human and expect it to have normal psychological function.
@DominoShadow It is funny how you act so intelligent, and yet you said that they are animals and we are humans. Technically, there is no mistake, but if you speak of animals and humans differently, you are very incorrect. It is quite common knowledge that Animalia is a kingdom, which includes humans. Dogs are dogs, and humans are humans, but both are animals, tyvm. And considering the fact you aren't a dog, how the hell would you know anything about the dogs' thoughts? You don't. tyvm again
@kragier Oh god lord. Humans can no longer be considered ANIMALS. YES we evolved from them, whatever. But do we speak their language? No. All animals speak the same language -> ENERGY. Humans have totally forgotten about this, so how can we even compare ourselves to them. Animals and humans will forever be very different. We used to not be so different, btu we evolved differently. And I never said I could read a dogs thoughts. However, I can read a dog's energy, body language...
@DominoShadow "Dogs are dogs, and humans are humans, but both are animals, tyvm." I never said dogs are like humans. They aren't. But dogs and humans are both animals.
Animals
Plants
Protists
Eubacteria
Archaebacteria
Fungi
Those are the kingdoms of life. We aren't plants, fungi, bacteria, or protists (assuming you know what they are). We ARE animals. Mammals are a class under the animal kingdom. From a taxonomy P.o.V. we are animals and mammals as are canis lupus familiaris (dogs).
@kragier This argument is entirely ridiculous. Quit trying to be a smartass. You know EXACTLY what I mean so trying to turn an argument around on me by stating extremely obvious facts is silly. Yes humans are mammals which by extension makes them animals. However, humans do not act, react, feel or think like animals (as in, animals who live in the wild, have been rescued, domesticated or put into zoos.) We do not posses the same emotions they do, they do not possess the same emotions we do.
@mrmigrator I cannot beleive I have to re-explain this to you. Humans are evolved from animals, which yes... makes us animals. But we are not the SAME as animals anymore because we are animals that evolved into humans. We do not act the same as animals.. ever. We do not communicate the same way, interract the same way. We don't swing from tree to tree to get fruit when we are hungry.
@mrmigrator We don't swim underwater and grab fish with our teeth or sprint after a gazelle, tackle it to the ground and tear it limb from limb We are much too cruel a species to even bother acting like that. Humans and animals don't even THINK the same way, we don't posess all of the same emotions. Humans don't have the same capacity for emotions that animals do. Humans have emotions animals dont and animals have emotions humans dont.
@mrmigrator Go back 1million years and yeah... humans were very similar to animals. But NOW? We are NOTHING like them. We have even lost the ability to communicate through energy. Animals communicate through energy. Humans no longer do that because we use body language and vocalizations. If a human walked up to a dog and said "hey how are you?" would the dog reply "not bad.. not bad..." No, it would have no CONCEPT of what you are asking it.
@mrmigrator However, if you approached an aggressive dog in a low energy, non-confrontational way. The dog would sense your energy and understand what you are trying to communicate. It would understand you are not trying to take it's territory, you don't want to take it's food, you don't want to fight, you just want to be. The dog wouldn't be an aggressive dog anymore. However, 99% of the time a human will approach a dog or any animal for that matter by B-lining right to it.
@mrmigrator Do you have ANY idea how STUPID that is in the animal kingdom? An animal only ever approaches like that if it wishes to confront, and by confront I mean either take something or fight. Humans even have completely different body language. Humans can't communciate using just their hair either. A human is not a dog. A dog is not a human. They are not related.
@mrmigrator The only thing we can use to tie ourselves to them is the fact that we are both MAMMALS. Humans are MAMMALS... they have long since abandoned any likeness to an animal. People like you are the main reason why humans can no longer TRULY communicate with animals. We only THINK we can. Why? Because we stick completely human emotions on animals and expect them to understand. It is not fair to the animal.
@mrmigrator It would be like being an alien comming to earth. Comming from a different culture humans could have no concept of. A language humans would never be able to understand. And having the humans speak english to the alien, expecting the alien to react in a human way. Do you have any idea how ridiculous that is?
@kragier In 90% of situations, we don't react the same way. Humans are an extension of the animal kingdom. However, humans have many parasitic qualities. I would love to have this discussion with you... but this is a dog video's comment forum.
@kragier breathing intesity, eye levels, tail levels..etc..etc..etc. I grew up with dogs my entire life. I am a dog rehabilitation psychologist. I rehabilitate via pack mentality. Don't try to get all smart with me about the humans vs animals arguement.
I will repeat for the sake of arguement. Humas were once animals. Since we evolved differently... humans are no longer animals. Humans are MAMMALS. There is an infinite difference. research research research.
@mrmigrator Oh my god you are an idiot. The fact that I have explained this to you in such depth and you STILL don't understand is ridiculous. Shut up and go away if you have nothing useful to say.
if docking tails or cropping ears was so bad for them then why do vets still do it?....dont vets help animals not hurt them?.just wondering cause my friend has it done to his doberman and i am getting one of his puppies when they are ready
@08polaris500HO Docking and cropping can actually be more healthy for the dog as well. It's just the misinformed, illogical peta pieces of crap that like to talk out their own asses. Hahaha
Yes, they ARE human. Aren't you lucky to have such a friend, perfect from one end to the other! Will follow you, EXPECT to go with you, to the ends of the earth. A Dobe is the only dog I know that can teach us about respect. They have instinctive knowledge of boundaries. Dobes are the BEST! Enjoy your handsome friend! and thanks for sharing!
If you try to treat your dog like a human you are causing it to have an unbalanced life.
Dogs need to be treated like pack animals. They require a calm-assertive pack leader and that leader needs to be you if you ever expect to have any ounce of respect from your dog.
Lol my dog certainly does not see me as the alpha coz he's got more than ONE owner and obviously he sees the males in the household as the alpha...he might even consider my other elder dog an alpha, heck why don't we ALL be alphas. My whole family owns him, yet my dog still respects me and loves me. I see dogs in as animals with souls just like humans...scientifically WE HUMANS are animals as well...but coz we're so up our assholes we seem to think we're superior.
Dunno... Ed was one of the sweetest beings I've ever met. He was a 110# Dobie. I treated him w/nothing but love. Even more love & respect were returned to me by him. I'll always miss him.
@cizzs i convinced my dad to leave my dobie's ears floppy because nature intended it that way. plus ear cropping is a painful procedure for nothing but a certain look!
Do your research. Ear cropping is painless, stops damaging ear infections from happening and increases their hearing. It is not for aesthetic. It is to stop the dog from having to deal with pain that doesn't have to happen.
Do your own research. Ear cropping/tail docking is NOT painless (the pain can be managed to a decent degree with a drug regimen), is done entirely to 'improve' the appearance of the dog and has no impact on the health of the ears or tail - please point me to the scientific study that proves otherwise . A dobie's tail is no thinner than a variety of other hound type dogs that do not need to have their tails docked. You're quite misinformed.
@Shiftshock It has nothing to do with appearance silly. A dobie's tail is thin and fragile. The get docked because they do break. They are also notories for ear infections.
Man people on youtube can be so silly sometimes.
And yes, cropping and docking is painless because it is done while the dog is unersedations, then numbed and THEN the dog is prescribed pain meds. Rofl.
well,if i was getting a Dobermann i wouldnt get the tail docked or the ears chopped,i can see some of the benifits of doing such but i want my dog to be a dog not a fashion accessory.

You wouldn't mutilate your own ears or your family's ears would you? Why do it to an animal?? Do you think they don't feel pain or have any feelings? This is outrageous and should be reported.

Maybe you should worry about the children starving or getting raped in Africa rather than stupidly bitching about someone docking ears on THEIR dog, not yours. If you think that it's wrong, then don't get a Doberman and dock it's ears. I dont see why people are so ignorant and think that their opinion truly matters- you just make yourself sound really stupid... Go help the animals that were used to test the product you put in your hair or makeup... your bitching could maybe be helpful.

people need to stop cropping there dogs ears, how would you like it if someone just mutilated a peice of your body just because the original way it was didn't fit into your opinion of looking good, nature is the way it is for reason so people need to stop making it into something they want instead of whats right.

Is it really still allowed to cut the ears and tail? Its forbidden in my country you know why? Dogs communicate a lot with ears and tails. If you clip and cut them they are often misunderstood by other dogs. Plus its totally unneccesary.

what's with the ears ? i really don't know,that's why i'm asking.
memyselfandi2311 1 year ago
@memyselfandi2311 Ear cropping involves cutting off up to two thirds’ of the earflap and is done when the dog is 4-6 months old. It is common among Great Danes, Dobermans, Schnauzers, Boxers, and Miniature Pinschers. After the procedure, which requires full anesthesia, splints and tape are used to hold the ear in an upright position. Without cropping; the ears will flop down.
LOKISlog7 1 year ago

@DominoShadow that's all very well and good, but you should read a book written in THIS century. Ear cropping is banned now in many places around the world because its no longer considered necessary, and most civilized countries have recognised this. Most people only have it done because they think it LOOKS better. Our Dobe's never had their ears cropped and they had no problems. What's wrong with regular vet checkups?
melodramie 1 year ago
@melodramie I don't know what books you are reading but JUST because a government makes somethign illigal, doesn't mean it should be.
Cropping isn't always necessary, I have said this before. But sometimes it is. Tail docking is usually necessary on docked breeds but not in rare cases.

Dogs are not humans. They are dogs.
Humans like to humanize creatures and by doing so they lead them to an unbalanced life. What humans think would be a totally fulfilling and wonderful life is not the same for a dog.
They are animals, not humans and should be treated accordingly.
I adore dogs, they are my life but humans need to learn that their dogs don't think they are humans, it's the humans who humanize the dogs. It's not cute, it's very damaging for the dog's psychology.

moodygirl900 1 year ago
@moodygirl900 What people assume are personalities in a dog are often not.
It is damaging to the psychology of the dog. Dogs should not have phobias, or problems. They shouldn't nit pick or be like that.
Read a book on dog psychology.
A dog not wanting to eat out of a bowl isn't part of its personality.
DominoShadow 1 year ago
@DominoShadow ok, well. i love my dog (well i did, he passed) but if YOU loved your dog (if you ever had or have one) what are you in love with? almost ALL animals have personalities, their likes and dislikes. agression is a personality trait. some humans are agressive and thats part of their personality. some dogs are lazy, some humans are lazy.explain.
moodygirl900 1 year ago
@moodygirl900 Um, you don't know ANYTHING about dogs.
Dogs and people are completely different. Dogs have no intellect.
If a dog is aggressive or skittish, anxious or nervous it is NOT his personality. That was unfortunately how it was raised and now forever has to be without a state of calm.
A dog who refuses to eat out of his bowl or is a finicky eater, that is NOT a personality trait. That is a dog who has no leader.
I am begging you to read a dog psychology book.
DominoShadow 1 year ago
@DominoShadow i did not say a dog not eating out of his bowl is a personality trait. that's bacically a choice the dog is making.don't put words in my mouth. your basically saying a dog has no feelings. beg all you want, unless you specialize in dogs or something, tell me anything.

@DominoShadow It is funny how you act so intelligent, and yet you said that they are animals and we are humans.

Dogs are dogs, and humans are humans, but both are animals, tyvm. And considering the fact you aren't a dog, how the hell would you know anything about the dogs' thoughts? You don't. tyvm again

@kragier Oh god lord. Humans can no longer be considered ANIMALS. YES we evolved from them, whatever. But do we speak their language? No. All animals speak the same language -> ENERGY. Humans have totally forgotten about this, so how can we even compare ourselves to them. Animals and humans will forever be very different. We used to not be so different, btu we evolved differently. And I never said I could read a dogs thoughts. However, I can read a dog's energy, body language...

@DominoShadow "Dogs are dogs, and humans are humans, but both are animals, tyvm." I never said dogs are like humans. They aren't. But dogs and humans are both animals.
Animals
Plants
Protists
Eubacteria
Archaebacteria
Fungi
Those are the kingdoms of life. We aren't plants, fungi, bacteria, or protists (assuming you know what they are). We ARE animals. Mammals are a class under the animal kingdom. From a taxonomy P.o.V. we are animals and mammals as are canis lupus familiaris (dogs).

@kragier This argument is entirely ridiculous. Quit trying to be a smartass. You know EXACTLY what I mean so trying to turn an argument around on me by stating extremely obvious facts is silly. Yes humans are mammals which by extension makes them animals. However, humans do not act, react, feel or think like animals (as in, animals who live in the wild, have been rescued, domesticated or put into zoos.) We do not posses the same emotions they do, they do not possess the same emotions we do.

@mrmigrator I cannot beleive I have to re-explain this to you. Humans are evolved from animals, which yes... makes us animals. But we are not the SAME as animals anymore because we are animals that evolved into humans. We do not act the same as animals.. ever. We do not communicate the same way, interract the same way. We don't swing from tree to tree to get fruit when we are hungry.
DominoShadow 1 year ago
@mrmigrator We don't swim underwater and grab fish with our teeth or sprint after a gazelle, tackle it to the ground and tear it limb from limb We are much too cruel a species to even bother acting like that. Humans and animals don't even THINK the same way, we don't posess all of the same emotions. Humans don't have the same capacity for emotions that animals do. Humans have emotions animals dont and animals have emotions humans dont.
DominoShadow 1 year ago
@mrmigrator Go back 1million years and yeah... humans were very similar to animals. But NOW? We are NOTHING like them. We have even lost the ability to communicate through energy. Animals communicate through energy. Humans no longer do that because we use body language and vocalizations. If a human walked up to a dog and said "hey how are you?" would the dog reply "not bad.. not bad..." No, it would have no CONCEPT of what you are asking it.
DominoShadow 1 year ago
@mrmigrator However, if you approached an aggressive dog in a low energy, non-confrontational way. The dog would sense your energy and understand what you are trying to communicate. It would understand you are not trying to take it's territory, you don't want to take it's food, you don't want to fight, you just want to be. The dog wouldn't be an aggressive dog anymore. However, 99% of the time a human will approach a dog or any animal for that matter by B-lining right to it.
DominoShadow 1 year ago
@mrmigrator Do you have ANY idea how STUPID that is in the animal kingdom? An animal only ever approaches like that if it wishes to confront, and by confront I mean either take something or fight. Humans even have completely different body language. Humans can't communciate using just their hair either. A human is not a dog. A dog is not a human. They are not related.
DominoShadow 1 year ago
@mrmigrator The only thing we can use to tie ourselves to them is the fact that we are both MAMMALS. Humans are MAMMALS... they have long since abandoned any likeness to an animal. People like you are the main reason why humans can no longer TRULY communicate with animals. We only THINK we can. Why? Because we stick completely human emotions on animals and expect them to understand. It is not fair to the animal.

@mrmigrator It would be like being an alien comming to earth. Comming from a different culture humans could have no concept of. A language humans would never be able to understand.

Do your research. Ear cropping is painless, stops damaging ear infections from happening and increases their hearing. It is not for aesthetic. It is to stop the dog from having to deal with pain that doesn't have to happen.
DominoShadow 2 years ago
Do your own research. Ear cropping/tail docking is NOT painless (the pain can be managed to a decent degree with a drug regimen), is done entirely to 'improve' the appearance of the dog and has no impact on the health of the ears or tail - please point me to the scientific study that proves otherwise . A dobie's tail is no thinner than a variety of other hound type dogs that do not need to have their tails docked. You're quite misinformed.
Shiftshock 2 years ago
@Shiftshock It has nothing to do with appearance silly. A dobie's tail is thin and fragile. The get docked because they do break. They are also notories for ear infections.
Man people on youtube can be so silly sometimes.
And yes, cropping and docking is painless because it is done while the dog is unersedations, then numbed and THEN the dog is prescribed pain meds. Rofl.
