You've got a distinguished looking doberman. I like the fact that his ears aren't cropped, not becuase I think it's cruel (because I don't), but becuase it just gives him the appearance of being a big ole baby. Dobies with cropped ears are viscious looking dogs...lol (and I like that look too), but its rare to see one going au natural. How did you get the name Harvey Hopes?
thankyou .. it think that photo on my sig has to be my favourite of all time..he looks so proud lol. he is in fantastic shape body and mind considering the hardship he went through. and he is defiantely a soft big old baby.
His ears arent cropped as its illegal here in the u.k but his tail was docked cruelly without anaesthetic (which is also illegal here) with scissors so its a joint to short and no hair has ever grown back on the tip. Tail docking still goes on here illegaly as its more of an easier process to do behind closed doors than ear cropping. although one young boys was one the news recently after cutting his staffordshire pitbulls ears off in a ear-cropping scenario gone horribly wrong
I have nothing against ear cropping or docking of tails as long as its done properly.. but i do think they look like more of a softy with them natural lol.
We named Him 'Harvey' as it just seemed to suit him and 'Hopes' is my parteners surname and they seemed to go well together..we only really ever call him Harvey Hopes if he has done something really naughty lol
i have been given the riot act for giving my dogs "people" food. and how its not good for them and blah blah. but i have been giving harley my gsd people food every since he was big enough to start eating. he is ten years old now and healthy . i dont give them candy or cake or stuff like that, but i see nothing wrong with sharing food like meat, potatoes and veggies with them. and they love it ! lol
lol ..i see nothing wrong with it aslong as it is in moderation. With the problems i was having with Harveys weight it actually helped feeding him some 'people' food. He has regular health check ups and is in fantastic conditon with his health. Theres obvious things that i dont feed him like stuff which is poisinous to them and cakes etc like you said, and things which he is allergic to
lol no they dont play... they just know how to air-guitar..i think in the moment i took that photo they thought they looked pretty cool ..thats what way to many Brandys do to them
