50% of the time that girl on the left is my FAVORITE dog. :)

Sending a prayer your way and hoping that the Vet was correct and everything turns out ok for your dog. Also commend you on maintaining your cool with the neighbor about this. I would have lost it. Sharing a story now in the hopes that it helps someone else in the future - About 12 or so...

You got to go down the 'distraction isle'. :) At TSC - SW -

Agree very much. Wish like hell I knew of a way to report having lost a Doberman due to DCM to someone doing the research.

That sort of work is good for the dog in more ways that one. :) Yes, the main goal is cleaning out the ear but you are also gaining trust with the dog. If you are spending time touching and 'working' on them often they get accustomed and desensitized to it. If you do the nails often enough...

Forgot to mention - Those are some good looking dogs! :)

Neosporin is not going to hurt anything. Just don't go crazy with it. Qtips and gauze to clean the inside of their ears is what I have always used and it seemed to work just fine for me. No issues at all with you getting on down in there to get all the crud out. Get in the habit of smelling...

Was a crazy hippy lady across the street that owned it. She did eventually bring it back home but from what I understand (from talking to other neighbors) she had been letting it get out and roam a LOT and someone complained to the city. City came out and told her she could not be keeping...

Best thing I ever did was ditch Purina (not this kind but still) for Diamond Naturals. Just like magic - Allergy problems were GONE!

Awesome news!!! :)

Used to bother me a lot until one day (when I was complaining about it) my mom interrupted my complaining and asked me 'if she was a good dog or not'. I tend to not cry about it as much since then and am instead very grateful to have her around. :)

When you think you have them trained how to act around distractions and then - A curve ball comes along! :) Our shop is in a really weird zoning location. RR owns the dirt behind us - Then our tiny strip of commercial property and just across the street it is single family residential...

No way I would be spending my money on that premade stuff you are talking about. By doing it yourself you can make things to suit your 'particular' ear and crop. It will not always be the same exact thing. If you have a spare collar laying around and don't have a partner to help you with...

Awesome! :) (got to go search now for a thread with pictures of both of them together) :) Betting you will nail it with ease if you have already been working with littermates. Distractions are not going to be on your radar!

I get the fact that the posting and after crop 'work' that the owner puts in is very, very important to the end results but still - You got to start with an experienced Vet doing the actual crop. You are fortunate to have such a Vet. :) Used a 'new to me at the time' Vet for the cropping on my...

Absolutely love the way those ears were done. Not too long and not too skinny - Just right IMHO. :)

I DO like our local dog park for that same reason. Mine usually come home dead tired after just a few hours of playtime there. Burning calories is a good thing! :) Don't have a picture handy or would share it but right outside of the one we go to they have a little concrete slab with a short...

Guessing that because it is (most of the time) hard to 'see' a stomach actually moving that less attention is paid to the potential problems. Once upon a time when the current girls were still tiny puppies (guessing well under 20ish lbs) I was preparing one of their meals while they patiently...

How these two became BFFs I have no clue. I do know that it happened the very second that white dog was led inside the house and introduced to the Dobergirls. Dystopia instantly pegged this girl as her new buddy. :)

She went in that room and barked a few times to get her sisters attention - Just to let her know that she was not 'allowed' to come in that particular room. :)
