By the way, adorable baby!! |
Seriously...dumping a vet just because he personally didn't think the ears would stand on their own?
Vets do not go to school and take classes on ever breed standard or grooming dogs...they go to school to learn how to treat dogs medically. They are doctors. I think I know a lot about yorkies and some of the other toy breeds but I probably couldn't tell you a thing about Great danes or some of the other breeds...there are some breeds I see and I don't even know what they are (and I think I'm pretty good identifying breeds most of the time).
