The controversy centers on the puppy&#8217;s <b>cropped ears<\/b> and docked tail, a cosmetic procedure that&#8217;s sparked outrage from animal rights groups including <b>PETA<\/b>. The breeder behind the procedure recently broke silence after receiving death threats online.<\/p>\n<div style='background:#f9f9f9;padding:20px;border-left:4px solid #e74c3c;margin:25px 0'>\n<h3 style='margin-top:0'>\ud83d\udd25 Quick Facts<\/h3>\n<ul style='margin:10px 0;padding-left:20px'>\n<li><b>Simone Biles<\/b>, 28, shared photos with the new <b>Doberman puppy<\/b> on December 14, 2025<\/li>\n<li><b>PETA<\/b> criticizes ear cropping as &#8220;excruciatingly painful&#8221; and &#8220;permanently disfiguring&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>Breeder <b>William Regal<\/b> defends the procedure, calling it &#8220;common practice&#8221; performed by vets<\/li>\n<li>The couple now owns <b>four dogs<\/b> including <b>French Bulldogs Lilo and Rambo<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>What Sparked the Controversy This Week<\/h2>\n<p>The backlash erupted fast after <b>Regal Empire Dobermans<\/b> posted photos of <b>Biles<\/b> and <b>Owens<\/b> with their new puppy on Instagram. The breeder wrote, &#8220;We know they will be great additions to your families!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However, sharp-eyed animal advocates immediately noticed the puppy&#8217;s cropped ears at the center of the photo. Social media exploded with criticism targeting both the couple&#8217;s choice to buy from a breeder and the controversial cosmetic procedure.<\/p>\n<p>This marks another major controversy involving the Olympic gymnastics legend in recent weeks. Earlier this month, she opened up publicly about her breast augmentation performed by <b>Houston-based surgeon Dr. Kriti Mohan<\/b>.<\/p>\n<h2>PETA&#8217;s Detailed Statement Against the Procedure<\/h2>\n<p><b>PETA<\/b> sent a formal letter to <b>Biles<\/b> and <b>Owens<\/b> expressing their disappointment. The organization wrote: &#8220;We were stunned when we saw you purchased a dog from a breeder, and judging from the comments online, we weren&#8217;t alone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The animal rights group continued, &#8220;Then you went another step further and had the puppy&#8217;s ears chopped off? Ear cropping is excruciatingly painful and, as cruel as it sounds, permanently disfiguring them for no reason other than to achieve a certain look.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>PETA<\/b> also highlighted that many veterinarians refuse the procedure, which has been banned in numerous European countries. They emphasized that &#8220;for every dog purchased, a dog in a shelter loses their chance at a home.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>The Breeder Responds Amid Death Threats<\/h2>\n<table style='width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:20px 0'>\n<tr style='background:#f4f4f4'>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold'>Breeder Defense<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold'>Details<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>William Regal&#8217;s Position<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Claims procedure is &#8220;common practice&#8221; performed by licensed vets<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style='background:#f9f9f9'>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Stated Purpose<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Believes ear cropping prevents hematoma and injury from other dogs<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Tail Docking Reason<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Says long tails can break and cause significant pain in Dobermans<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style='background:#f9f9f9'>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Backlash Received<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Has reportedly received death threats on social media<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p><b>William Regal<\/b>, who owns <b>Regal Empire Dobermans<\/b>, told <b>TMZ<\/b> that he has been facing serious online harassment over his work for the celebs.
