To think she can’t cut the puppy’s ears!

[Poorpup201]

So I had to name change to post this. My friend was given a dog, a tiny little puppy by her boyfriend who breeds dogs
Today the puppy is going to get its ears cut because her boyfriend thinks it looks better and he will have more chance to breed. She knows it’s illegal but she said he insists. I don’t know who’s going to crop this poor puppy’s ears but I honestly feel sick about this little baby being in pain. I don’t know how I can stop this, because my friend seems passive and because he said it’s happening it just is.

Cropping a dogs ears is illegal unless for specified exemptions under the Animal Welfare Act. Contact the RSPCA, Police and your Local Authority and do it now. There's absolutely no excuse for you not to do so.

Have been googling the law around this and sadly have found several British breeders of Dobermans offering cropping/docking/puppies. These sites need to be closed down. Have reported the sites to RSPCA, maybe we all need to in the hope they will be shut down. Couldn't sleep last night for worrying about all these lovely animals.

There are no specific exemptions

Hi so sorry for the late update. My friend came to her senses after many Google articles being sent. She kept the dog with her, his ears are fine. Her boyfriend seems to of disappeared off the face of the earth at the moment....

I did report it to the police, j found out his address from my friend but like I said currently he’s MIA. I hope he’s found soon enough because he’s been doing this for years .

I am glad this little baby is safe, he’s only 6 weeks so definitely shouldn’t be away from his mum. My friend is being a bit off with me but I did send her some information about puppies that young.

If you're in England or Wales then separating a pup from its mum at under 8 weeks is illegal as well
