Breedia Dog Forum
Cropping is NOT done at 4-6 months old. It must be done by 12 weeks or the ears will not stand. Infection or a "failed crop" (ears not standing) is...
Point being we all have our opinions. Missboo and I are NOT telling anyone they are wrong for not docking or cropping, were merely defending our...
I have read the link but in all honesty it’s meaningless the information on it has been gleamed from other sources with NO Scientific backup....
@chrisb I'm sorry but in some instances I am going to trust the breeder over a vet. A breeder (a good one anyway) is knowledgeable in one specific...
I'm about to leave this site all together. Being accused by @Malka for having a hidden agenda just because I'm a new member and I'm pro cropping?...
Actually it is a common compulsive behavior. It happened once, and once I addressed the BEHAVIOR, it has never happened again. There was no pain or...
Have you ever owned a cropped dog? If not you really can't speak on the topic without having experience. I personally do not know anyone who prefers...
So my dobe bites at her rear end because her tail is docked? What's the reason my bassett hound bites at hers then? Its because they have an itch,...
What's the purpose of curcumsizing a little boy? Do we ask baby boys if it's ok with them? No, we do it when they are infants and so young that they...
And perhaps worth noting that at nationals there were over 500 dogs... Of which only the 2 were not docked. There was probably less than 20 that were...
Thank you @CaroleC I wasn't sure if perhaps I was being biased in thinking they were ignorant of dog breeds by comparing her to a rottie! Likely they...
I can only say for the US, and specifically where I am, that is untrue. Though the breed isn't as popular as it used to be in general, you see far...
@CaroleC thank you, and you have beautiful dogs! Beagles?
Hello everyone! I'm new here, just found the site last night :-) I am proudly owned by an 8 year old basset hound (Misty) and an 11 month old...
And when done by a reputable vet, the only "complication" that arises from a crop is that the ears don't stand the way they should... and even then,...
So in browsing the forums getting myself familiar and aquainted and reading threads that pique my interest, I saw your puppy has some sores on her...
Cropping and docking is not purely eye candy. I'm not going to get into a drawn out argument, simply agree to disagree. We each have our own...
My dogs have always been spayed as puppies. The one I have now is not- and likely will not be. As a responsible owner, a spay or neuter is not a...
I have to agree, cropped ears are much more expressive than uncropped.
Silas, it's not specifically only a cosmetic surgery. Ear cropping is virtually painless, so much so that most dogs do not come home with pain...
