Rider got most of it down.
The ears don't have to be cropped. Its acceptable either way. The dew claws and tail HAVE to be docked and as Rider said, its done when they are real young (usually within the first 3 days, I typed this info in the begining of the thread)
Ebbs... yeah no more blue eyes, its like babies. Besides blue eyes as a full grown is a breed disqualification.
And I'll tell the wife that you, Dova, like the read hair, that she no longer has...
And I love the puppy with full size dog pic... that is AWESOME!
Marko... yeah its cool taking him to work... I don't even take a leash... have the shock collar to keep him close (he don't use it much anymore... just for off leash for the just in case).
