    I could dispense with the docked tail amd cropped ears but it is still a very regal looking dog.

      100% yes. The neighbor got into it with his landlord over this dog and asked for help. I do not condone mutilating animals like this.

        It’s late, I’m curious but my brain is already down to minimal services.

        Your neighbour got into tail docking and ear cropping because of his landlord? Am I understanding correctly?

        Tail docking and ear cropping, unless if for strickly necessary medical reasons, is pointless. The lenghts some people will go to defend the practices are ridiculous.

        I have two dogs of a breed that historically have undergone such treatment and modern day breeders and enthusiasts argue it was done to improve health and avoid injuries. Anyone looking at the dogs can notice the breed is very powerful and must have been used for dog fighting, hence the mutilations.

          The neighbor is renting his place and apparently has a lease agreement prohibiting pets.

          Also the neighbor is, I guess, a cruel idiot. He thinks it’s ok to do this to a dog for cosmetics.

          I think the dog is a beautiful genius monster.

          And I’m a fucking sucker. She can’t be over there and now I’m the dog walker.
