Breathe Right strips for GSD puppy ears

Some breeders have had success with using Breathe Right strips in ears to brace them. In my experience, this only works in limited circumstances. In order for this to work, the ear must be almost up anyway, meaning it is occasionally flopping. And the bend can’t be low on the ear, or at the topContinue reading “Breathe Right strips for GSD puppy ears”

Clyde and See See playing and ears again

Here are a couple of videos of Clyde and See See playing in the yard. See See’s ears look great, even though I had to take the tape off sooner than I had planned due to an infection on the OUTSIDE of her ear. The heat and humidity really is a perfect environment for reallyContinue reading “Clyde and See See playing and ears again”

Connie’s ears, retaped

Here is a pic of Connie’s ears after her vet retaped them. The vet watched my videos to learn my method of taping. Vets do ear cropping which is totally different than simply taping ears that won’t stand. I think the vet did a good job, but I would have liked for the ears toContinue reading “Connie’s ears, retaped”

Good news Bad news

Good news: Connie’s ears are up! After just 6 days of tape, the forms got a little dislodged, so her owner had to take all the tape off. And lo and behold, they look perfect! Yay! Bad news: They fell back down…. They had to be retaped. I don’t have a pic of the retaping.Continue reading “Good news Bad news”

Clyde and See See meet Cash

I like this quick video so I can see the similarities and differences between Clyde and his sire Cash. I also really like Cash’s temperament. He basically ignores Clyde, as he is no threat. Same with this video, although Cash is a little more interested because See See is female. I really like that SeeContinue reading “Clyde and See See meet Cash”

Maverick, aka Ranger

Just got these great pics of Maverick, now called Ranger. His new owner described him as “Seriously handsome. His ears are tall, his tail is long, and he eats like a horse. Well loved.” Thank you Tammy, for taking good care of him and loving him.

Connie’s ears

I have been communicating with Connie’s owner frequently about her ears. She is rightfully concerned that they need taping. After a couple of weeks of up and down , and now mostly down, at 5 months old, we decided to tape. In this video, you can see Connie, who is the only longhair, with herContinue reading “Connie’s ears”

Dressy, aka Greta

I really love to get pics! Dressy lives out of state so I haven’t gotten to see her since she left. I’m not sure how much time elapsed between these pics, but check out those ears! Also so glad to hear that she has graduated from her puppy class and learned basic commands, and sheContinue reading “Dressy, aka Greta”

Winston at the July 1st-4th Doswell, VA shows

This weekend was a four day dog show weekend, starting Thursday. Winston was entered all four days. Honestly, there wasn’t a lot of competition. Winston won on Thursday! Yay! We lost on Friday. Boo. He got reserve on Saturday. Ok. Sunday, I hurt my foot and didn’t go! Sunday was going to be the tiebreaker!Continue reading “Winston at the July 1st-4th Doswell, VA shows”
