ayep, the broken ear is common among Shepperds & Dobes. They have large ears and the cartilidge sometimes gets 'broken' from the weight when they're pups, like my guy.
yeah, big dogs def are an advantage because they're usually mellow.
was thinkin today about how when we have to put them down at 12 -15 and how it effects us. I think one reason is that we're puttin down a dog that is basically a teenager in our years, and it hurts us more because they're so young it seems, eventho they're old in dog years. he's 7 now and I sorta hope i'm gone before he is sometimes ... put too many pooches down for my liking. |
