very cute pup.
JLC - i have to disagree there. i can see having a puppy being similar to having an infant in that you forget what it was like and swear to never do it again but i will NEVER, and i mean NEVER, forget my 3 childbirth experiences! i dont know how anyone could forget something like that. i AM grateful however that my last one was nowhere near as traumatic as my 1st 2 were.
now someone please tell me...
what is the point of cropping ears? i can see shows requiring a certain "look" for certain breeds but if there's no showing in store for a dog's future why not just let the ears be? i know with pits the ears are almost always cropped to make the dog "look" mean and i think that defeats the purpose of defending that breed if people with them are doing that. i guess i just dont really understand the necessity for cosmetic procedures such as implants, reductions, face lifts, etc. and ear cropping/tail docking in dogs.
can someone straighten me out?
