I know this can be a controversial topic, if you don't have something intelligent to say, just do us all a favor and don't post.
A friend of mine has a doberman, and she is going to give birth sometime next month. I can get the buddy discount on a puppy of my choice (after the owner of the male picks, he did the deal for a puppy instead of cash) and I was wondering what a vet would charge for ear cropping. Most vets that I have called have told me that I need to take the puppy in and then they will give me an estimate. (odd right?)
I plan to have his (or hers) ears cropped because I just can't stand the look of an uncropped Doberman. Boxers and whatnot it looks just fine, but not on a doberman in my opinion. Makes them look like a skinny lab. I am also debating whether or not I should have his tail docked, but I will most likely consider leaving the tail natural. I do somewhat like the look of the "Doberman Pinscher Standard" but I hate how not having a tail alters the dogs walk and stance.
Just throw up some prices if you have ever had this done, and let me know about any issues you may have had etc. Voicing your opinion on the matter is ok, just don't go over the top and start an argument/offend people in this thread. I reserve the right to dish out bad rep for such posts.
