What is the functionality of getting the dogs ears cropped? Is it just for looks or does it serve a purpose?

Sorry I did not read the full post. But why are you guys chopping the ears? Is it because you think it looks bad-ass? Or does it serve a medical purpose?

I do it because to me it looks best! I get the show dog ear cropped size! Standard at dog shows so why not! I dont believe it has a medical purpose!

My Aunt and Uncle have a pittbul that loves to shake it toys and he has poblems with his ears from it. That would be the only medical case I know of for getting them cut.

Your dogs are cute as can be like this. I am not sure I could pull myself to do that. But at least you take good care of them.

See N8 you gotta have the "look". It doesn't "look rough n' tough with ears, so chop them off. The dogs would "look" tougher if you chopped off the tail too because a wagging tail doesn't look tough to me. Wagging tail means it's happy and that won't scare would be criminals. ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)

Don't do it. If you chop them I cannot see any more cuteness out of him/her when they tilt their head sideways in wonder. You know that adorable look.
Besides if you do they end up looking like some black-owned "Thug Dog" (no offense) ![[Whoo Whooooo!]](graemlins/woowoo.gif)

DAMN Thats kinda fucked up to say ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif)
Anyway, I agree with the NO CROPPING of the ears. The dogs look way better WITH their real ears. Only thing I'd do is dock a docg's tail if its the appropriate breed.

Hopefully you have not reproduced yet. So the stupidity will hopefully end with you.
I mentioned this to my vet yesterday as I was taking my dogs in for a check up. And he said this is a highly frowned upon practice. And that chopping the ears actually can have a adverse affect. The dogs ears and the ability to moved them helps ward away mosquitos and other bugs that bite. These bugs might in turn might carry harmful disease. And cutting away the ears exposes sensitive tissue that may have otherwise been covered and protected by the extra ear tissue that dogs use to essentially swat away pests.

Instead of trying wasting money on trying to make your dog look "mean and cool," why not spend some money on some hi-performance dog training...this dog OWNS all your dogs ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

Now that is much "cooler" than mangling your dogs ears. Imagine having a pitbull that can do cool tricks instead the looking "cool" sitting there.

I think it all depends on the breed of the dog, My dobermans ears are cropped just like 99 % of them out there its just like when their tails get cropped as well. Also ALOT of Vets will NOT do cropings so it is hard to find.
