The Truth About My Doberman’s Ears, Tail, and the Judgments I Keep Getting

People keep commenting on my Doberman Vader’s ears and tail — and assuming I’m the one who cropped and docked him.

Look, I get it. I’ve got a Mohawk. I wear a Longo tee. I played in bands. I probably look like the kind of guy who swears every other word and does aggressive things. But I didn’t crop his ears. I didn’t dock his tail. I adopted him exactly like this.

And even though I could keep ignoring it or keep replying one comment at a time… nah. I needed to say something on camera. Because I’m tired of the judgment without the facts. I also want to explain something else: why I keep my videos clean. I know it might seem like I’m trying to act fake or “soft” or whatever. But truth is, I want your 10-year-old grandson to be able to show my videos to your church pastor and not have to skip past it because of language. Not everything needs to be an f-bomb fest.

And yeah — I know posting this video might cost me subscribers. I’ll probably lose a few. Or miss out on gaining some. But that’s fine. This message needed to happen. I’m still gonna get comments after this. I know that. But at least now I have a video I can point to and say: Watch this. Then talk.

We appreciate the real ones who’ve had our backs through it all. — Jerry & Vader 🐾
