ah, I see by the picture link that you did chop his ears off. Ick. How come people with these breeds have to take all but 1/10 of the ear off, and in such a way that makes the ears all but gone? Looks terrible. He used to have nice beautiful ears as a pup - what's wrong with keeping them that way? I was hoping his ears were just folded back in the picture above too - but nope, they were chopped off And his name is Bane. Great image you have going there. Not impressed.
Not as impressed as I am with your lack of respect and cattyness. Great personality you have there Molly. <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Like I said the smart get smarter and well you know what the other 1/2 does.
p.s. worry about your own image and let me worry about mine.
Steve, why did you crop his ears? I've always wondered about ear and tail cropping, and i know that a lot of people do it but i still don't understand it, maybe you can shed some light on the subject for me,
That short crop is favored by dog fighters. It keeps the ears from getting torn up in a pit fight. The ears are a pretty sensitive part of the body. So, no ears, no pain, and the dog can keep fighting.
When local LEO's see a dog with ears cropped down like that, they immediately start looking at that animal for other signs of it being used as a fighting dog.
Al it was actually breed standard from way back when because they were used to protect farm animals from wolves and during hunting. Now a days it has stuck around because of ear care(easier to keep them clean), and if you ever show it is still favored over uncropped. I have some articles detaling other benefits as well on my work PC, I can always post them later if you would like. And thanks for asking questions and not just bashing me and him. <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Steve - I am curious - did you name this dog or did the breeder? Frankly I find it disturbing that someone would name a dog after another dog that killed a women.
Ed,
It was a different breed that killed that woman. Not only that but if we look up all the killers names we would be hard pressed to find usable ones. Besides he was named after a comic book villan Bane <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

The breed that killed the women in CA was a Cane Corso.
I would be inclined to change the dogs name. People don't know a comic book character named BANE but they do remember this incident.
I will guarantee you that should this dog every bite someone and that person hires an attorney he or she will hand your head to a jury based on the breed and your dogs name. Trying to explain that the dog was named after a comic book figure would fall on deft ears. I have a ton of experience in testifying in court and I would not want to be faced with those questions.
