   Yeah. But it's usually not done by a vet.   
   The PROFESIONAL BREEDERS do that   
   themselves.

   Yeah. Usually 8-12 weeks. Of curse 8 week   
   old pups DON'T FEEL PAIN. Do they.

   Unless the dog's ears get infected and fall off.

   Well that's just SHEER IDIOCY. You can gradually   
   take the dog's nails back withHOWET HURTIN him.

   That so?   
      
   > > Really? Do you play to ever neuter your pets?   
      
   That's different. A veterinarian tells you to do   
   that so he can send his kids to summer camp.   
      
   > > That's an unnecessary operation.   
      
   Yeah. But HOWER DOG LOVERS PREFER to   
   UNNECESSARILY INAPUPRIATELY SURGICALLY   
   MUTILATE their dogs.   
      
   > I don't think that comparing spaying and   
   > neutering to a cosmetic procedure is totally fair.   
      
   Well that's on accHOWENT of you're a simpleton.   
   Surgical sexual MUTILATION makes 15% of dogs   
   FEAR AGGRESSIVE and has NO benefit for heelth   
   or behavior and withHOWET MEDICAL REASONS   
   to perform surgery, is MALPRACTICE.   
      
   > Cropping of the ears does nothing to   
   > improve the dog's quality of life,   
      
   Well that's not so, robin. Dogs with floppy   
   ears ESPECIALLY WORKIN DOGS with   
   floppy ears tend to get them damaged or   
   infected, so cropping DOES have SOME   
   benefit.

   BWEEEEEEEEEEEHAHAHAHAHHAAA!!!   
      
   Your CANCERS are CAUSED BY STRESS.   
      
   > So yeah, spaying my dog to prevent mammary   
   > tumors ten years down the road;   
      
   Your dogs GET CANCER on accHOWENT of   
   you CHOKE SHOCK LOCK THEM IN BOXES   
   and FEED THEM GARBAGE.   
      
   >  I'll put her through that.   
      
   Yeah, but you're a mental case.   
      
   >  Cropping her ears so they will be perky and cute?   
      
   So wild boars won't tear them off and disable the dog.   
      
   >   Probably not.   
      
   Well, you probably don't go where folks shoot pigs...
