The video is great - LOVE the music! What piece is that? anyone know? Also...

What the heck is wrong with people posting vulgar language on a video of a PUPPY that will likely be viewed by CHILDREN?!?!

Is it too much to ask that we respect each others differing opinions? Holy moly!

@Oreztar My last reply to you on this subject. In regards to your last sentence. "I wouldn't bet my vet-assistant diploma on it"

As long as their are loving, caring, responsible K9 owners left out in the world; with the best interests of their animals in mind; Cropping and Docking WILL CONTINUE! It's a good thing that there are many senators in the oval office who own Dobermans and belong to Doberman Clubs. These lobbyists know enough to do the right thing when it comes to this issue.

@LOKISlog7 Clearly, you've never had to euthanise a dog because no homes are available. If you had, perhaps you'd realise how ridiculous you sound. Pet over-population is a HUGE problem, and yes, for the ANIMALS. Talk to me, I've worked in vet nursing, I've had to kill the ones no-one wants >:/ Also, if you don't believe neutering is for an animals benefit, look up pyometra. Cropping and docking has already been banned in many countries, and it WILL be banned in the USA soon. Thank god.

Respond to this video... As for what is pathetic? It's the PETA warrior trolls who have far too much time on their hands, and clearly a far too oversized nose to stick in the business of loving, caring, responsible K9 owners who have the best interests of their dogs in mind. Regardless of what you and your brethren believe or preach; Cropping and Docking has been around long before you were here to voice your displeasure; and will be long after we are gone. Thank goodness.....

@Oreztar The over-population theory is done for HUMAN benefit. So WE don't have to deal with the ramifications. Tail injuries can put your dog in a lot of pain. Because the tail has a strong blood flow, lacerations and bites can bleed profusely. A broken tail could be crooked, and if not set, may heal that way. A break near the base of the tail could result in permanent incontinence, permanent sagging of the tail, or both. Tail injuries are very common to ALL breeds.

[Oreztar]

@LOKISlog7 There are actual health benefits to neutering, particularly spaying, and it is done to prevent over-population of dogs, again, for THEIR benefit. Do not compare it to cropping and docking which was done for YOUR benefit. And hey, I've never known an UNcropped/docked dobe to have a broken tail or any of the issues listed either. I mean, keep bullshitting yourself that its for the dog's benefit if it makes you feel better, but its kinda pathetic.

@Oreztar Does it sicken you as well; when a male dog is sexually mutilated with the removal of it's testicles? or the surgical removal her ovaries and uterus of females? Do you have the same concerns for the preanesthetic evaluation, anesthesia used in such surgeries? All of our Dobermans were Docked and Cropped. Non of our dogs ever suffered the pain of a broken tail, or suffered from ear mites, fungal bacteria, or aural hematoma. We raised, loved and protected our dogs like our children.

[Oreztar]

@LOKISlog7 The myth about it being healthier and stopping ear infections has been disproven, even most pro-cropping people admit that. It is not true. It is done purely for fashion. And it sickens me to put a young puppy under anaesthetic, which can kill, and slicing his body parts off purely for appearance. Its illegal here, and in many other countries, and believe me, it WILL become illegal in the USA too eventually.

[LOKISlog7]

@Oreztar Ear cropping is considered the breed standard for many purebred dogs, including the Doberman, but purebred dogs are not required to have cropped ears according to the AKC Standards. Cropping can also help eliminate potential health problems due to long, floppy ears, such as ear mites and infections. Its just safer and healthier for the breed. All our Dobermans were cropped and docked; and suffered NO ill effects from the procedure.

Why is the pup hopping like a bunny? Is that normal for a doberman puppy to do that? Is the dog still doing this? Your dog should be 4 years old now. I was just curious :)
