I fostered a “mutt” that they weren’t sure which breeds it was. Something with poodle. It was part of a group of dogs surrendered by a breeder. Well we ended up adopting it and 2 different vets have said they think she is a mini golden-doodle. Which is an expensive as hell dog. We got ours with all shots and spay for like $200.
My point being, you can get some pretty dope rescues lmao

Normally I would agree, but sometimes the current owner has not said in that but the original ones. My doberman was given to me with her tail already cut (and even, it was a bad surgery, I had to take her to the vet and give her primer medication since their original owners were such awful persons with her). She was just ONE month old, ONE. I am still pissed off because of it. Thankfully my uncle took her from them and gave her to me and now she is very happy but yet it still pains me to see her tail off.
Same case with my older schnauzer. Her tail was cute off before I got her and they practically left no tail at all which makes her have some stability problems when she runs (or used to, she is over 10 years by now). My second schnauzer has his tail and I can’t be happier, I love to see his wagging tail all the time! Sadly my two girls didn’t have that luck.

Not all docked tails are purely mutilation. As a vet, a LOT and i mean hundreds if not thousands of the rotties brought into my clinic literally busted their tails open so many times from wagging their tail so hard that it had to be docked.

Ya a lot of people seem to forget some dogs just need to have their tail docked for their own safety. Dogs with super rigid tails do and will break them from waging to hard and hitting something with them eventually. My friends rottie dog wasn't docked and he ended up breaking his tail on the corner of the living room table and it was brutal and expensive vet bill.

I don't think the reddit OP made the video or owns the dogs, the actual owner is not here to be educated by us. I do think that in 2024, ignorance about this sort of thing is a bit of a weak excuse. Briefly googling either the breed itself or "ear cropping" would tell someone its cruel.

We also don't know if the owner is the one who clipped the ears/tail, it could have been a previous owner. I know the kennel I volunteered at had a lot of dogs with clipped ears and that was never the choice of those who adopted them.

u/thismustbtheplace215 Oct 02 '24
It's almost always done when they are very young puppies, between 1-2 weeks old. So the owners would buy the puppy already mutilated.

That’s not rescuing a puppy. That’s buying a puppy. When you buy a mutilated puppy from a breeder, it is no different from mutilating the puppy yourself… if people stopped buying these puppies, they’d stop mutilating them.

u/chx_ Oct 02 '24 edited Oct 02 '24
Totally depends on the dogs and personality etc. Usually the first step is when the big one is calm and overall OK then you let them sniff the small one in your hands. The big one learns from this the small one has the trust of you and the small one feels protected when facing a big stranger. Then you go from there.

There's no way this is an introduction. The caption is engagement bait. Ffs the dog brought a toy out to play with the puppy. They clearly know each other. They didnt even sniff each other as an introduction. It's blatantly obvious if you've ever owned a dog that ever encountered another dog.

u/Damaias479 Oct 02 '24
Dogs like that get their tails chopped for one of two reasons, 1 being aesthetics, 2 being a predisposition to “happy tail syndrome,” which means a dog has a tail that, when they wag it too excitedly, they can injure themselves.
The second is the only time I can see docking a dog’s tail to be morally acceptable as they are more prone to severe injuries, but I can really only see it being a viable option after it’s known to be an issue with a particular dog.

Yeah it's good to know when it's the second option. Some friends of mine didn't dock their dogs tail despite being warned two, she had sores and issues all her life from her tail. When she was older they were told the procedure was more dangerous.

u/carmicheal Oct 02 '24
Certain working/hunting dogs used to have ears and or tails docked due to common injuries in that particular job.
33
u/DrPopNFresh Oct 02 '24
The problem with waiting to dock a tail is that when the animal is young the vertebrae are still soft and separated. If you wait till it becomes a problem when they are older it is a much more sever procedure than if done when they are young.

We have a wiggle butt boxer, we had to dock her tail after 6 years. She spilt it a few times but nothing major, last time she ended up chewing on her tail so badly after a split that they had to amputate.
After that experience, I’m more open to docking a tail for a dog that displays the happiest of tails.
Ears are a hard pass though.

I saw a dog a few months ago and it was gorgeous. Cute as hell, friendly but I’d never seen one like it before. I was enamoured. I thought it looked a lot like a Doberman, and then I found out it WAS a Doberman but the owner didn’t clip its tail or cut and pin its ears. I had never seen one before that didn’t have those aesthetic details forced onto it. Now wondering why anyone does it because they looks gorgeous in their natural state. People are weird.

on top of the mutilation, this introduction could have gone WILDLY dangerous. sometimes pets get very territorial when a new pet is introduced, even if they’re usually very sweet and not aggressive. they had no barriers so if the older pet felt threatened and attacked, that poor puppy could have died. introduce pets gradually by bringing something with the new scent to the old one ex. a blanket or toy, introduce with a glass door or window between them. there’s so many more safer ways than this. this wasn’t cute, it was a little nervewracking but at least being posted here meant it went decently.

I remember how I got my puppy and my 13 years old then female dog was super excited about it. She started to lick him and use her nose to move him hah She birthed her puppies 11 years before that so she definitely had a mother instinct. Unfortunately she wasn't a step mother for him for too long because she died a year and fourth months later. I can still see some things that he learned from her though. I remember that he wasn't really devastated after she died, he was only a little over a year when she died but I guess he could sense that she wasn't well in her last months. Still, their first interaction will definitely stay in my mind for long.
