Oh my goodness! Feel better soon Rocky. :)

She looks like a very happy pup! :)

OMG! That really does look bad. I can't give you any advice, but I'd definitely get him to a vet SOON. When does he go to the vet? Hopefully very soon. That really doesn't look good. Please let us know what the vet does. Get well soon pup.

I completely understand how you feel. The vet that did Ozzy's ears was fairly new to cropping and left too much bell also. On top of that they never would stand unposted. He had them cropped a second time by the same vet free of charge and the now stand very well but there is still too much bell...

None taken at all. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, that's what makes this place a great resource. ;)

Well idk, Ozzy is not timid or small built, I'd think genetics have alot to do with. Ozzy is much larger than my friend's doberman, not only taller but also wider and is not fearful of other dogs or other things. Of course all dogs will have different temperments and physical builds. I will say...

I completely disagree with this statement,, I do not in any way think it's detrimental to physical or mental health. That's all I'll say, but I respect your opinion.

My dobe was fixed at 1 year and he's over 100 lbs and smart as a whip. So just from what I 've experienced I see no ill effects and actually just the opposite. But everyone should do what suits them.

How so?

Sometimes I've noticed that male dogs that haven't been fixed are more agressive too, and if they're altered at a very young age they tend to be more puppy like and passive. But that is just what I've experienced. I certainly wouldn't be worried about so called "BAD" behaviors based on breed. My...

Those two look so TOUGH! ;)

OMG! Soooo cute. :)

I agree that even if your current vet's motives are in the right place, if you aren't happy and don't feel 100% satisfied, you should find another vet. Find one that you feel like has your pet's best interest at heart. Good luck and I hope your pup feels better soon. :)

Looks like very happy dogs! :)

I don't know if any GSDs were nabbed but they stole labs, and terriers, and spaniels. Lots of small breeds especially. A waitress I know watched a guy jump her fence and take her dog. Unbelievably, she was able to id him when he came in the restraunt that same week. She did get the dog back. The...

It will be very sad to me if there ever comes a day when dobermans don't look like dobermans anymore. Would boxers and great danes and other dog breeds be affected by this also? If so what a shame to completely change the look of these breeds. :(

There were some people in my area a couple years ago that would drive through subdivisions looking for pure bred dogs and would steal them even out of fenced in back yards, even when the owners were at home. It only takes a minute for a thief. These people traveled through different towns...

Ozzy always destroys his toys. For some reason though when he's chewing the tennis ball its way back in his mouth, it just freaks me out, so I don't let him have it anymore. I told him that I was not prepared to do the himelic manuever, lol.

Ozzy does this too! I wonder why this is so common for most dobies. I've never witnessed any other dog breed doing this for comfort.

JanS, I see the tennis ball in the pic. Have you ever been afraid of them choking? Ozzy loves tennis balls but it terrifies me that he'll get choked on the ball. Sometimes the ball is way back in his mouth. What are your thoughts on this?
