Mr, what a happy pooch ya got! What's on his left ear though? Does it train them to stand up or something?
If you dont know, its a Doberman breed and compared to
the others dobies ive seen. My Dobie is huge.
Considering he was a runt of the litter, good food and love
got that sucker big. I hope I can do the same with my MJ plants.
Anyways about his ears. Dobies to have his ears stand have to be
cropped. Well when I got them cropped as a puppy. VET asked me
what size.. Small, medium, long. I went with medium. I didn't
realize that medium was such a long cut. Anyways.. You have to
post dobbies ears for about a year, until the cartledge gets stiff
after their teeth comes in.
So after about 6 months. I posted that ear a little to tight.
His ear got swollen. Didn't realize it after a couple of days.
Ever since then, he doesn't seem to lift that ear up like he does the
other. IMO he is being lazy. But if I put a piece of tape on it
like you see in the picture. It stand perfect. So it stayed.
Sometimes when people ask, i lie and say some dog bit him. haha
But it looks ok, kind of like having strips/badge for him.
Best breed by far, ive ever owned. Dobies deffinately live up to the
VELCRO dog nick name. Dog will follow you every where any where.
I walk him with no leash, very well trained, intelligent and listens.
Unlike other breeds ive had.
Dobies have bad reps, but the breed is so docile.
He's the biggest scardy cat of them all.
Good thing, his looks intimidate others, because he would be such a
push over. :hubba:
