You have no idea how much I enjoy your vids! Thanks for sharing!

If you don't mind me asking is there any particular reason that you crop the tails?...or is just the look?

I won't discuss docking other than to say it is traditional for this breed, and required by the Breed Standard in the US.

She is such a fun puppy, and I'm so glad you enjoy my clips. I took her to a local home improvement store today. She OWNED the place from the moment she walked in. Had I let her, she would have rushed up to every person she came across to beg for pets.

She got a LOT of pets, and did very well on learning how to "sit for a visit".

Next time we go out to visit I will take my camera and we can have a socialization vid.

I really need to learn how to edit my clips, I could string some together then.

I don't disagree with the docking I was just curious...accepted what you said. I didn't know it was in the US standards


You know here you see most of the people with these dogs to have no control on the dog and never socialize them properly...of course you are a breeder and you know what you're doing...but I hate to see these dogs in the hands of some person who only wants "a big bad dog to beat them all" and here you see this a lot! ....So I really love your dogs!!

Anyway, waiting for your new videos You have beautiful dogs!!

I promise more very soon, we are working on some heel position and movement, so maybe I can get some of that in the next couple of days.

I was in a dog show in Canada last a couple of years ago and a tailed rottie took BiB (That's best in breed), I've seen a 1 or 2 more, but since I only get to see Conformation when it's run concurrent with Ob, I don't know if this is a trend or not.


Same for Beaucerons, I got mine from a Canadian breeder because they don't crop while many Americans are still doing it. A cropped Beauceron can't be shown in France any more.

I would appreciate the docking/cropping discussion being taken elsewhere.

SO CUTE! And home improvement stores are awesome for socialization trips. We try to take ours a couple times a month, it never fails, we usually end up with 3-5 EMPLOYEES circled around us loving on both dogs.
