Is someone getting ready for a new puppy?
I thought JanieTheDobie didn't like cropping.
Nice to see those show crops though. I wouldn't want the added work involved, personally.
@AresMyDobie has a show crop on Ares that looked long when he was younger, but – to my eye – doesn't look very long anymore as he has such a substantial head now. Just interesting.

Haha no puppies lol. Notfor a long time at least.
I LOVE the cropped looked, I just don’t like the idea of how it comes to be. Surgical procedure, long posting afterwards that can be painful, plus not knowing if you’ll even like the crop in the end.
Long crops are my absolutely favorite look. What is that called where the tip of the ear is curved out? Like the first pic of the red Dobe here. Also, where the ear is like rounded? Sorry if I’m not making sense hah.

I'm not trying to awaken the cropping controversy monster here, but just want to correct you: The posting process is not painful. There is probably some pain in the actual cropping after-surgery period (I suspect quite brief based on how the pups carry on with much verve without pain meds).

Chopping v Flopping....Doc or not....that's what's great about Dobes...so many options and looks....
...no matter the look, they remain Dobe.

Not a dumb question at all
. A long show crop describes the style of crop. Typically it is long with a narrow bell. The inner anatomy of the ear is cleaned out as well to make it more smooth looking. They can have a short show crop too...or a long pet crop.
Hope that makes sense

Are you referring to my girl?
If so, the first red girl pictured has a fwip. The second red girl has an incorrect inward curve of her tip due to having a long show crop with thick ear leather. She was posted correctly, this is just how her ears will be.

I will back him up here 100%. I have been involved with several crops now with several litters. Puppies have a harder time with the anesthesia than they do with discomfort after surgery. They are up running around, playing, eating and happy hours after recovering.
The posting process is also no invasive and is not uncomfortable to them. It actually bonds you with your dog. The only issues with discomfort are when people post incorrectly and cause an infection.
You're absolutely right lol he grew into those rabbit ears lol I'm really glad he has the long show cuz the medium would have look like a super short crop on him now lol
Here he is lol

Here they were as a baby, baby, after one or two postings
And now at almost 2 years old:
They can look very different depending on perspective and her mood!
