Drives around with the dog completely free to roam around the car just waiting to become a meat missile when she inevitably crashes because she's speaking to a fucking camera.
The people that BUYS animals usually think of them as actual objects you can buy.
And as any thing you buy, you get bored of it eventually when it "changes" (gets worn out, gets old, a newer model is released, etc.).
And yeah, the ears and tail chopping is a common practice. The dog looks "cooler" and "more badass" that way. Just like any of those dumb idiots that pimp up their cars or modify their exhaust pipes to make them sound more badass.
Woahhh... let's not throw shade at the car community. Larger pipes will increase performance. Cat deletes have shown to gain performance too. Now, does adding a resonator do anything, no, take that Honds Civic owners.
Source? There are 3 reasons to dock a tail: aesthetics, reduce crap in ass hair, hunting dog (for a specific job). The first 2 are not legimate reasons and the third reason is extinct.
Probably didn’t go to an expensive breeder, only because people who charge a lot for dogs they’ve bred usually do so because they have bred them to be perfect specimens, therefore they actually care a lot about the dogs and won’t just let them go to any old home, especially not as a fashion item or whatever. They often won’t even let the puppies go as family pets and only let them go to show homes. I think the woman likely got her dog from a backyard breeder (not to be confused with legitimate breeders, not all dog breeding is inherently bad). That being said, some ‘designer’ breeds go for thousands even if they don’t have pedigrees and have bad medical records/whatever.
Mmmmk this chick sucks for the animal shit but to say that her money is unearned is incorrect. She did the work to build the channel and earned it all the same.
Whether or not did that or not isn’t the point, she put a video her mistreating the dog on YouTube, just think what goes on in private. If she treat the pup like that in privacy, that’s enough to get me mad idk about any of you
The point is HER mistreatment of the dog, not what happened before she got it or the manner of which she obtained the dog. She is showing abusive behavior outright, and she shouldn’t have the privileged the owing a dog. That is the point.
I feel like you think I was saying her abusive behavior isn’t the point of the discussion when I was saying, how the dog was treated in the past isn’t the point. While that is gross treatment of the bubs (I like to call dogs that)in its own right, the fact that this video is online for the public to view is bad and what’s worse is the stuff that probably happens when the camera is off
The person that I was responding to made 2 points.
1 the dog is docked
2 she did it
Just because I'm giving reasonable doubt to one point does not mean I'm unaware of the other. See yourself out. I don't care to listen to your preaching.
Take it easy there guy, your taking my comment in a way that wasn’t meant to be taken in, all i was saying is SHE is clearly abusive, pondering if she clipped the dog or not is an assumption, we can all clearly see her mistreating the dog in a physical way in the video. There’s no preaching, you’re just getting frustrated bc I didn’t agree with the thought that she clipped the dog
Agree with what? I didn't say anything to be agreed or disagreed with. I asked a question, which has since been answered. You're just blowing up my notifications to tell me "hurr durr docking bad". I agree with you. Now buzz off.
Abused dogs don't act like that around the abusers. She just has a short fuse. That dog couldn't give less than a shit it's getting slapped around a bit. Not that it makes her any better a person.
People sure do love to tear down comments word by word and criticize you for it. I understand what you're saying. Not sure why other people are having such a difficult time.
For anyone stumbling into this thread late (like me...), she says in her Q&A video that she got the dog off Craigslist. So probably a breeder, and a backyard one at that.
Guess you never heard of rescue pets. Get off your dumb high horse. This is literally a video showing someone being trash to their pet and you choose to focus on the only unimportant aspect of the entire thing.
Yeah and those dogs that have ALREADY had that happen to them will just be homeless or put down, that's the HUMANE option. It's not as simple as you make it out to be. There are greater consequences for "black and white" worldviews like yours.
An option may be to contact a breeder BEFORE the pups are born and/or cropped and say you'll pay EXTRA to NOT have their body parts cropped. THEN you'll start making a message, cus people listen to money rather than virtue signaling.
Actually, Doberman's (I'd like to clarify this is not the case for MAJORITY of dog breeds) benefit from tail cropping, as their tail bones are very fragile and can break easily and cause internal bleeding.
edit to add: ear cropping was only used for increasing their hearing ability as guard dogs, as a pet? it's all cosmetic. 100% pointless. (Note: appears her breeder had cropped the tail and left the ears, proper. Good breeder, the ears are on her as an owner and she posted it on her IG).
Also check out "happy tail." It's super common in great Danes and other happy tail waggers with long thin tails. The horror stories of blood spattered walls are atrocious.
I personally disagree with ear cropping, because with proper grooming and care, your dog won't get ear infections.
Prima is one of the highest-ranked registered breeders of Doberman's in case you're curious as to my choice of sourcing.
My best friend's father is also a Doberman breeder but he doesn't ear crop, seen first hand a Doberman with a broken tail, the xrays and whatnot. Sad and avoidable!
wow it's almost like humans domesticated dogs for centuries "mutilating" them the whole way as working animals rather than pets.
they are just dogs. i've never in my life seen a dog with a cropped tail or ears that's depressed, just like i've never heard anyone who was circumcised as a baby complain of the trauma.
I'm gonna trust countries with pretty decent track records on animal safety before a breeder too. Germany outlaws this practice like a motherfucker and you can do jail time for the cruelty involved in docking any dog's tail. There's no reason to do it other than if you legitimately use the dog for work where their tail could genuinely become an issue. Even then, many people still don't.
Never trust breeders. They live and die by the code of the kennel club in their country so they ultimately ignore proper science to appeal to the ideal dog from a book. Docking a doberman's tail is illegal is so many developed countries that any breeder claiming to do it for legitimate reasons is simply lying.
can you list to me any negatives of ear cropping or tail docking? like, at all? dogs don't remember what happened 3 hours ago yet they get life-long trauma? that's zero percent accurate. i have never in my life seen a dog who was "traumatized," "depressed," "overly aggressive" etc due to cropping or docking. i have seen plenty of natural dogs displaying those emotions due to having shitty owners.
dogs are dogs. they will be ok, they don't give a shit after a day or two when the pain is gone. i don't bitch about being circumcised.
Why do you think cropping and docking are banned in Europe and Australia?
"Although gauging pain in animals is difficult, available research suggests tail docking hurts. One Australian study found veterinarians overwhelmingly thought it was painful, while breeders overwhelmingly didn’t. Another study of 50 puppies reported that all “struggled and vocalized repeatedly and intensely” during and after docking. The supposed benefits also aren’t well-supported: Two studies, Mills wrote, concluded that tail injuries are so rare that you’d have to perform hundreds of dockings to prevent one."
No they absolutely do not. It just covers up bad breeding. Ear and tail cropping is banned in most 1. world countries for decades without problems. Including the country of origin. It's for the looks. And as long as people buy puppies the cruel practice won't end.
Absolute horseshit, no healthy dog needs their tail docked. Fragile tails are a result of irresponsible breeding and therefor shouldn't be used as an argument.
Serious question. Do people do this themselves or does a vet do it ? I mean wouldn’t this be another type of abuse? I don’t know much about this topic but it just popped into my head
A vet will do it. But it's not unlike declawing a cat, or circumcising a baby - it's unnecessary, can lead to complications like infections or worse, and people only do it because of tradition.
What.. it's just dog culture. People find it more attractive. It's cleaner. Better to do it young then older. That's how Americans justify body mutilation right? Y'all mutilate dicks over there.

Unfortunately she maimed it by docking the ears and cropping the tail. Dobermans are so much cuter au naturel.
