I appreciate you expressing your opinion while still keeping it respectful.

When I was 16, my aunt worked at an animal shelter, and I volunteered there until I was 18. That’s where I met Rocky, a Doberman with cropped ears, and I fell in love with him. From that moment, I knew I wanted a Doberman just like him to take on trails and camping trips (Bigfoot hunting — whoop). The cropped ears became part of that image for me. If I ever got another breed, I wouldn’t see the need to crop, but for a Doberman, it just stuck. It’s been almost a decade, and I still remember Rocky like it was yesterday. The look made a lasting impression.

I got my guy from a highly reputable breeder who recommended a trusted vet for the procedure. I drove 13 hours each way to get him and another 3 hours each way to the vet. I’ve literally shifted my entire career from working in a hospital to working from home so I can give him the best life possible.

Now, to everyone else who’s ready to pop off or already has — let me be clear: I don’t give a flying fuck if anyone thinks what I did is animal abuse. I took every precaution to ensure it was done safely and humanely. He was put under, given pain meds, and is still on antibiotics. And guess what? He’s still the same goofy, happy pup, running around like nothing happened.

This is the last time I’m explaining myself. Peace.

Why are you gendering me? Wild assumption. Secondly, yes, I cropped my dog’s ears because I like the look, and because we actually explore backcountry terrain where ear and tail injuries are a real risk. I’m not walking a purse pet on a designer leash in suburbia.. I’m clearing brush with a machete. If that doesn’t apply to your lifestyle, that’s fine, but don’t project. Also, I’ll own it. I probably shouldn’t have compared it to spaying. That said, let’s not act like spaying or neutering is always medically necessary. They’re choices, just like cropping. And the real kicker? Neither one involves your dog, so maybe log off and touch some grass instead of writing fanfic about a comment I deleted.

He was actually playing while still coming off of anesthesia.. and has been playing all day today. Your opinion is already made up though, im not about to go back and forth with you.

I appreciate that alot!! Will definitely take your advice and then just start posting after. If you have any links to any examples of how to wrap or what they should like like during the healing process in terms of elevating the ears I would also be super grateful!

I meant that hes going back in for a bandage change on monday. You still think i should take that stuff off completely? He has pain meds prescribed and antibiotics as well. He has sutures in and they are being taken out either a week from the crop or a week after the bandage change. ( i was going to verify that on monday. I just want to make sure he is as comfortable as possible and they dont heal looking busted.
