Need some advice! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

First off, I have had a horrible morning.

It was my first morning to sleep in, in a long time. I had razzled the dogs up and was taking them out to pee and all. I have cats, lots of em and they are my babies. ANYWAYS. I was letting them potty and then out of NO WHERE this huge Husky lookin something can running around our pool deck. (No one was hurt) except my CAR! He jumped all over my car trying to get to my cats. We do not have an outside dog anymore. *he passed away due to cancer*

so as of late we have had a lot of trouble with my neighbors dog coming up here trying to kill the cats, the chickens, and I'll be d-word if they try to kill my dogs.

Now to the advice part.

We are planning to get 2 doberman pinchers in the spring. Should we keep them inside at night and out during the day? Since the only time I have had trouble with her dogs is during the day. How do I make them... run off the other dog?? And I am sure there are people on here who are against ear clipping. If you are, do not comment. But what age do you do that? And how long, what's the cost? I am sure most of you will probably be like... hmmm.. We don't have a doberman. But with any dog you get their ears clipped. Around about the cost of that and all. We had a pitbull before who was natural but I want the dobermans to look as scary as possible! LOL.

Any advice/tips will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks everyone <3

Not sure if you'll get the anwer you want on this site as it is mainly about Yorkies.

pinkii726 · 02-18-2010, 11:54 AM

We shall see.

Am I still on YorkieTalk?

jackson25 · 02-18-2010, 11:57 AM

Just kidding, not sure about that breed at all, you might ask your vet about the questions you have consering ears.

pinkii726 · 02-18-2010, 11:59 AM

I was about to say. I thought the people on this site were nice and not rude..

Thanks for clearing that up. I am going to add myself to a doberman forum and see what they say.

How do you delete postings on here?

jackson25 · 02-18-2010, 12:03 PM

No one is being rude, just not too familiar with that breed, as I stated, you might ask your vet about the ear concerns and even the breeder were you are getting your Dobermans.

I can't give any advice about the clipping as I have no clue

As for the neighbors dog....I would recommend meeting with your neighbor to address this problem before you add to large dogs to it. It would be awful if one of your pets was injured and you were faced with making a life or death decision on investing hundreds or even thousands of dollars to fix a pet. Does your neighbor have a fenced yard or do they keep him chained out doors? perhaps you both can invest in sharing a fence or electric fencing?

pinkii726 · 02-18-2010, 12:08 PM

No she doesnt. She keeps them chained or in a pen and needless to say.. THEY get out and she laughs about it. One of her dogs killed my neighbors kittens and she laughed at her and told her to put them in the house. She is the stupidest woman I have ever met. (on a literal note, she didn't graudate high school) If murder was legal I am SURE my neighbor would have killed her that day.

I am asking my vet about the ear clipping.

I am sorry you felt that others were being rude to you on YT , however this is a yorkie fourm, about yorkies , and advice is given about this breed , and sometimes other breeds if people are knowledelable.
Dobies are a beautiful breed . I'll I know about cropping ears is that is not necessary , and their are a lot of ethical problems doing so. Unsure as to why you want your dobies to look as scary as possible? Maybe for using more as watchdogs , and not really as pets .
talk to your vet about the ear cropping, and so you will know what your looking at price wise , and if it is a good practice to do it.
Best of luck .

I'd think you could report her for letting her animals run loose, or are you in a more rural area? Maybe if she were warned and fined enough times she would keep them properly contained.

As for deleting posts, I don't think you can. You might pm admin and see if they will.

MaddiesMommie · 02-18-2010, 12:16 PM

Has this lady been reported? She sounds like one of those people who should NOT be a pet owner, imo.

However, I would worry about one of my doberman's getting hurt by her dog while trying to keep him away, or worse chasing him back to her propery, leaving yours, and hurting her dog. She may bring a case against you for your dogs coming onto her property..Sounds crazy I know, but there are some crazies out there.
Sounds like fighting fire with fire in this case could cause you more pain and heartache.

MaddiesMommie · 02-18-2010, 12:18 PM

Wanted to add your vet should be able to answer all your questions about ear cropping.

I am sorry that you are having such a time with your neighbor lady, however the comment about her not being a High School Graduate is rather offensive in my book. My brother didn't graduate high school as well due to medical issues, he has since graduated from college with a decree in Computer Engineering.

I wish you all the best in your situation!

pinkii726 · 02-18-2010, 12:23 PM

I didn't think you could but it didn't hurt asking, thanks =)

We have complained, the neighbors have complained, we live in the sticks. They have taken her dogs 2 times and she has gotten them back out. I feel bad for the little animals because they aren't fed adequately. She's big as a horse and doesn't feed them a thing. She said she feeds them "When they are hungry" These are large dogs, they must eat 2 times a day ATLEAST.

I am with you ^^ Up there. She does NOT need to own these dogs. I wish we could do more, but they are at a stand still at this point because the dog high tailed before they got there and I couldn't catch him to put him in the pin. (he's aggressive with people!!)

What if my sisters kids are outside and they jump on them!? I just dont understand people and how they think its okay.

She IS however getting to repaint my car. Ha! That won't be cheap, considering it's breed.

It is like playing with fire with her.
