As a result I took the opportunity to speak with each of you to provide options and allow each of you to decide how you'd like to proceed. Figured I could take half the litter to Georgia and half the litter south, since regardless of cropper, the litter will require two separate appointments. Turns out all but one of you have decide on Dr McBride. She's a bit more expensive than the cropper in Georgia but her reputation for ears speaks for itself.
Our updated cropping schedule will put the pups at roughly 9 weeks of age for pickup. The first appointment is scheduled Thursday September 5th and will include four pups. The second appointment, Monday September 9th will wrap things up with the four remaining. Robert and Yvette have opted to take their pup early and have him cropped themselves based mainly on timing of scheduling. The Vet they'll use is one I've recently become aware of and one most likely to become an option for future litters. I'm overjoyed to have become aware of him actually as he's also obviously also a master of the game. I hope to see many photos of your pups and their crops, and most specifically Yvette and Roberts going forward. For the rest of you, take a look at your schedules. If one date definitely works better for you than the other, please let me know. I can't make any promises but try my best to help with schedules when possible.
