Steve Keyishian Webboard User Reg: 07-16-2006 Posts: 173 Loc: Offline	Quote: Some people flood the board with posts for the sake of posting, and I agree that that gets annoying. But it doesn't seem that that was Roger's intentions, rather a genuine concern for the dogs. Someone that was concidering cropping asked; "is it worth it?" To someone making that decision, Roger's posts have merit. I can understand why he'd get passionate about this subject, it's difficult to say, 'hey, to each his own', when in his opinion it amounts to mutilation. I don't think he was looking "to get a rise out of people", if he'd wanted to do that he would have resorted to sarcasm... I am not going to debate with you in this thread, hopefully it can be used for helpful info. instead I will shoot you over a PM. <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Roger is a good guy, NOT a trouble-maker, and he didn't deserve to get jumped & ridiculed for his sentiments, IMHO How anyone can live without a dog is beyond me...

I saw his posts as triggered by concern for dogs and not a desire to rile anyone. JMO.

No one called him out on saying we harm our dogs and it is abuse twice? But we are the ones that jumped on him? I guess there are alot of things I will never understand.

Then I just felt it necessary to answer the responses, which I thought never really addressed my main question. Please feel free to return to the 'how to' and ignore my 'why?' <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Roger

I cant ans. for everyone but it is C.C. breed standard. And if you plan on doing any shows it honestly helps to get titles. It also helps with ear maintenence(sp)

Kristel Smart Webboard User Reg: 10-03-2006 Posts: 1548 Loc: Vermont Offline	It's a hot-button topic for sure. I respect your opinion and used to share it at one time. It's a topic I'm defensive about because I'm a Dobe person and they are a cropped breed. My feeling is, if you like the look of a coon-hound, get a coonhound. I also live in the midst of "Halti-ville" where prong collars are also considered cruel (I took a class for fun/to proof my training and wasn't allowed to use my prong because it might upset the other participants), and Shutzhund is thought of as a violent sport that is mean to the animals. I'm used to having to defend my position. I also do a lot with Greyhound rescue. I've seen what abuse REALLY looks like and I can't put my Dobe into the same category just for having a procedure done that was barely a blip on his radar. Though I do appreciate your apparent concern for animals.

Candi Campbell Webboard User Reg: 02-06-2006 Posts: 696 Loc: San Francisco, CA Offline	Well, I also love black & tan Coonhounds <:-) but they look nothing at all like Dobermans (and they sure don't ACT like them either!) -- So, a much better solution is to do what we did & adopt a rescue Dobie that has all its natural equipment left intact (then you have the best of both worlds!) IMHO How anyone can live without a dog is beyond me...
