I prefer the american boxer over the european because I like a bigger dog.

I love Boxers. Only downside is they're prone to a lot of health problems, including cancer. We've had 6 tumors removed from our 10 year old boxer, she's got arthritis, but she's still a happy dog. She weighs over 100 lbs.

Yea, I heard they're prone to cancer. :(

My buddy had a brother and sister one time and the brother die of rumors. He was very emotional

About it.

They're very good dogs. I heard they has the energy to play even at an old age.

Lol. Ballin with dem shade.

What kind of hunting dog? Squirrel, duck, etc?

Birds are what they're bred for. But yeah, birds, (ducks), and squirrels mostly.

I'm not serious about hunting I just do it with him for fun. He loves it. I just let him do his thing, no training, I don't care like that.

He'll freeze and point, and then retrieve.... or just run up and screw everything but whatever. Lol

Who docks Pitbull's tail? wtf

I prefer my Bullies and Doberman's ears cropped. Its no "cruel practice". But you are entitled to your own opinion.

Looks like it's not just my opinion:

The veterinary procedure is known as cosmetic otoplasty. Current veterinary science provides no medical, physical, environmental or cosmetic advantage to the animal from the procedure,[1][2] leading to concerns over animal cruelty related to performing unnecessary surgery on the animals. In addition to the bans in place in countries around the world, it is described in some veterinary texts as "no longer considered ethical."[1]

Of course, it is cosmetic and unnecessary but it has its good and bad. That's the bad.

The good of cropping dog's ears is that, it makes it easier to clean the inside of the ears. It has shown to decrease infection in the ears. It also has been a tradition of the Doberman look. A doberman loose a lot of its features and appearance by not cropping its ears. The beauty is taking away. Its really up to you. Its definitely not wrong, nor is it a "cruel practice".

The ASPCA lists ear cropping, tail docking and tail banding as specific forms of animal cruelty.

This is Gabrielle "Gabbie." She is a chow-shepard mix we've had since she was 8 weeks old and turned 18 years old on April 1. She's deaf and is now having some bladder and hind legs issues, but still wants to walk her 500 yards every morning down the street and back. She has the temperament of a saint and an iron will. We're waiting for the day she decides to let us know when it's time to go, but for now she keeps going...
