First I just wanted to let everyone know I will be gone January 13^th through the 23^rd. I will try to check my E-mail once a day, phone calls will have to wait until I return. I am finally taking my wife on the vacation she deserves for putting up with me for 10 years!

I have received a lot of response on ear cropping, and thought I would ask help of all of you, it is getting so much harder to find a vet that will crop ears, let alone do a great job! So I thought I would put together a list of vets that you all have had experience with, good or bad, and a photo of the crop and put a database together on my website. This will help other dobe owners make better choices about their vets. I know right off Many people are interested in Ray’s Vet and the plastic crown down in Florida. Here in Utah I only recommend Dr. Pew in Orem Utah, he is worth the drive. Pictures of his ears can be seen on my website on Anakin, Mac, and Linux.  I also had a great experience with a female Vet in Show Low AZ though I can’t remember her name or clinic name, it has been a while. Please share this info I haven’t heard from many of you in a while and there are some great ears out there that I have seen pictures of!
