Hello everyone,
I am the proud new owner of a new dobie puppy. I adopted him from a So. Cal. rescue on Sunday. I'm picking him up this weekend because I needed to make the right preparations before I bring him home. As a first time Dobie owner, I am open to any advice on how to best prepare for the new arrival.
Also,
I have a question regarding ear cropping/tail docking. What is the average cost of said procedure? Are most vets trained to do it? The pup is around 8 weeks so I think now is the time. I am still debating whether or not to do it. Don't want to expose him to any unnecessary pain or discomfort. He will just be a pet and not a show dog. Opinions?
The keeper said he is actually about 3/4 Dobie, with part Rott or Shepherd. He looks like a Dobie pup though.
Sorry for the long-winded first post!
