"My vet says your Q & A section is inaccurate and that you look like a terrible backyard breeder. Your dog's ears look funny.

Why do you expel such terrible information over the net for poor people who dont know any better to read? It's truly a shame, and at the very least- I hope the animals you are producing are healthy.

Sending a puppy home and taking it away from its littermates at 5 weeks old is INSANE. That is when they learn bite-inhibition and when they need to learn social structure the most. That is also probably why your dogs arent good with other, strange dogs. They never had the chance to learn how to interact at that crucial age.

Your website makes me sick to my stomach. I support the 2nd ammendment just so people like you have a higher chance of being erased."

Hi Skye,

I wish we could have an open and scientific dialog, but your statement basically wishing us a violent death precludes that and makes it clear that you have evil in your heart. Generally speaking, people who support evil aren’t supporters of truth, and tend to react violently when they hear it.

Nonetheless, noone is beyond hope. I suggest you reread our site in detail, this time with an eye toward reading comprehension. If you really do have an interest in the facts, you will be happy to find almost every statement on our website is footnoted or linked to the scientific data supporting it. It is incumbent on you to do the research. I think you will find that doing research on all these dog issues will foster a better relationship with your vet.

But then again your comment about the "funny" ears betrays that you are more concerned with appearance than health or scientific facts. Usually this indicates a personal philosophy along the line “if it looks good in the show ring, the rest does not matter”.

Since you chose to “pick” on the “looks” of our dogs’ ears, I’ll be happy to explain a little bit about them. Unlike many show breeders, we do not tape or glue ears down, nor do we feed puppies low protein diets to inhibit ear muscle development – all in hopes of a win in the show ring. We keep our dogs ears natural. In this breed you will find that ears range from extremely floppy, like a Bloodhound, to strong cartilage with well-developed muscles, and of course all ranges in between. There are very good hunting and survival reasons for ear diversity. Perhaps if you were less concerned about ‘surviving’ in the show ring you would not have made such a silly comment about our dogs’ ears. Because no matter how much you, or others, may desire that we damage our dogs’ ears to compete in the show ring, we won’t do it.
