Have two pups coming from Austria, they will arrive age 11wks to bahrain( middle east). Cropping is not illegal here as in most of Europe, but unfortunately all vets cannot or will not perform. This coupled by the fact that I would not allow anyone without serious experience and expertise to touch my babes has led me to two options;
1. Locate someone in perhaps another nearby state and after close scrutiny, solicit them to travel to my location and perform the procedure.
2. Just accept the drop ears.
Austria bans all such procedures,and initially I was acceptant, as time draws near, I can't seem to dismiss the desire to crop.
Pups can be docked here no problem, but ears are the issue.
Should I let it go regarding cropping or press thru with locating a suitable dr?
Make no mistake, I would not allow anyone without full experience and expertise and background check near the dobes. Anyone here have any contacts or knowledge of preferably American trained drs in the region? Would appreciate input and thoughts.
