Great Danes eating raw....

A nice clip sent to me by Emma.........see the control being exerted even though the dogs are getting excited about eating. No force required.......the dogs know the rules and will not break them.
Don't the 'clipped' ears look strange?

i think this is fab! the fact that they go to their own bowls amazes me!

and yes i agree john i don't like the cropped ears! not sure why it is done or is it just the look?

I will get there eventually!! Ha ha the obedience is amazing!I agree Janis the ears are horrible!! They cut them and pin them when they are Young to make them stand up. Pointless pain for a dog Mad

They clip lots of breeds over in the states from the GD's to Dalmations, Pit Bulls, Dobermans, Boxers the list is endless a horrible fashion thing thats is cruel and unecessary.

As for the video pretty cool how much control they have well trained dogs nice to watch Smile

Video is great! Tikka is very similar.... aye rite! Very Happy

I can live in hope! Once the ears are clipped i believe they need to tape them for a number of weeks to make sure they point upwards!? Why go to all the bother? Confused

They would be lovely dogs if they didn't clip those ears. I really hate the practice of ear clipping.
