primabella, no problem. Callihan we got from a breeder and we had his ears cropped. Mitchy we got from the Doberman Rescue of Columbus and they had his ears cropped.

It surprised me that they did this. They told me that Dobe puppies are easier to place with adopters if their ears are already cropped...kind of crazy isn't it?

However, when I think about it I realize that when I got Callihan, who was my first Dobe, I initially loved the look of the breed and that played a part in my getting his ears cropped. Now after having Callihan, Quincey and Mitchell it isn't the look I love but the dog I love. So for me cropped ears doesn't matter one way or the other. Though I don't believe it is an ethical or moral issue.
