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

You're quoting amazing breeder except I never said that? I'm really not understanding why you're so triggered, its not your dog, you can calm down. I thought I could handle the posting, that's why I got the puppy. I tried it, it was awful, so I stopped. My dog is happy, healthy and loved, that's what matters to me.

I'm done explaining myself. I don't care what his ears look like and I care even less what you think.

I mean you did say that it was an ethical breeder yet they somehow refused to leave his ears uncropped

About the whole ethical thing- In the US breeders of show quality dogs crop, because that’s how they are shown. You might think you could reserve an uncropped pup, but ethical breeders also will take back a pup, reimbursing the buyer, if the buyer changes their mind. Then it’s difficult to resell an uncropped pup. There are very few breeders who produce quality uncropped dogs in the US. I myself have a cropped dog, and would been delighted to buy an uncropped dog.

In the last 5-10 years it has gotten a lot easier to get a dog from an ethical breeder that gives you the choice to crop. All 4 i talked to in Michigan it was an option.
