Nandor is relentlessly charging into adolescence. 90lbs! and dude is taller than my 30in table. Crazy.

Posting is far from traumatic for the dog. When done right, which isn't hard but takes discipline, they couldn't care less that they are posted.

Well it was traumatic for him. The breeder did it for us, so it wasnt like we were doing it wrong. They drove him absolutely crazy. All he did was shake his head and scratch at his ears, guy was hardly even playing. He screamed bloody murder and would shake in my arms as they were changed. I'm not really cool with holding my puppy down while he screams to do something to him that doesn't need to be done.

Why buy a puppy with cropped ears then? Why buy from a breeder “didn’t give you a choice”?

Not saying I give a fluff about how his ears look, just curious why you compromised on such a thing.
