I thought ear cropping and tail cropping were taboo now?
watch duty on his first camping trip. he's 7mths now and he's been a joy to own. we're lifers for this breed now.
We are interested in the breed too! We want a girlfriend for our GSD. Where did you get yours?
More so than ever probably. Thanks to a combination of public ignorance and croppers/owners that have absolutely no idea what they're doing and end up with horror stories. Done properly at the right age with proper aftercare it is no big deal at all. Neutering/spaying is harder on a pup (especially spaying) than a proper crop procedure.
Most people have just been curios about his ears being posted (we're still posting...will be for a while yet as he has a long show crop) because you don't see it that often anymore. Haven't been dressed down in public for it yet, though I know owners who have. I was very ignorant about cropping before I was around cropped puppies myself so if anyone is reasonable to me I'll gladly try to tell them some facts vs their perception. I originally wanted natural ears as I was slightly opposed to cropping, but AKC standard is still cropped & docked so many U.S. show breeders won't consider selling a natural eared puppy. I changed my mind after being around cropped puppies and learning to post ears and realizing I knew nothing about it.
I'll shoot you a PM!
Great pic. What is he looking at?
Probably my girlfriend is behind me in the cooler or food box. Dude has never gotten people food but that doesn't stop him trying.
Here he is minus his dignity on easter. He loves carrots.
Very smart dogs. I like them.
One point off the man card for the bunny ears, and I know it wasn't your choice. LOL...

Here is a pic of my two boxers (Shelby and Adrian).
And here is a pic of Shelby wondering what she is supposed to do about the cat.
I'd post a pic of our Corgi, buy I can't seem to find any on my phone.

I was just wondering. We had a Doberman years ago with cropped ears, papered, and trained. Baron von something, just Baron to us. No peta nutjob here. Used to raise and fight game roosters. McDonald's and Tyson kill millions of chickens a year and no one bats an eye, but a guy who raises and trains his rooster with tender loving care is a monster.
