We're getting a new puppy, part 2
So you might remember last week I was telling you about the new Australian shepard puppy that we adopted. Well, the story went like this. My oldest son had been asking for his own dog for a long time....

I don't know if I could crop ears or tails, unless I was showing the dog, or breeding it. I'm too much of a bleeding heart. That has to hurt like hell.

We didn't crop ours- he looks like this but "beefier". See what I mean about baby deer legs? He sleeps just like that...unless he's in our bed, then he stretches out and takes up the entire bed.

My family's weimaraner had a docked tail. But it does make me sad to think about cropped ears and docked tails. If I ever got a dog where it was the standard to crop the ears I still don't think I'd...

I like the big floppy ears too. I don't think I could ever dock my pets ears or tail either. Brutus looks more like Scooby Doo though with his done.

Black Lab owner checking in. Shadow was by far the most amazing dog I was ever privileged to have in my life. Yes they are "trying" for the first 2 - 3 years, but wow when they calm down?! I am so...

I love Cockers - Its standard to dock the tails of cockers when they are 3 days old. Personally I like the look better with the nub rather than the full tail. Then again a lot of places are trying to...

I don't think I've ever seen a Cocker with a full tail. Is it feathered like a Golden's?

You know, TF, I tried to find a picture of a Cocker online that hasn't had it's tail docked and I couldn't find one single pic. I read about how it is done and now I am very sick to my stomach though.

Hair ties??? Oh, yuck! You know, I've talked about tail and ear docking, but Piper has her dew claws removed. I'm sure that doesn't feel too swift either. I noticed some breeders aren't doing that...

I wonder if having dew claws removed when they are young is very painful. I wish Lucy didn't have hers. I'm always worried they are going to snag on something and rip one off. Eek.

I think Piper's were done when she was just a few days old. I've seen where Piper hunts, and I know it's a good thing that they're gone. Whenever I get another Golden, and if it comes from hunting...
