Why are pit bulls ears cropped?

Just a guess, but it may be a holdover from dog fighting. Ears and tails may have been cropped because they were liabilities.That is an incorrect answer. The Pit Bull was a game dog originally used for hunting large game. The ears were cropped due to the fact that big ears make handles that can be torn and cause bleeding. AS for the "Fighting" you are way off base. Cropped Ears arent commonly found on "Fighting" Dogs as it leaves the ear opened and exposed which can lead to infection. Also tail docking in Fighting dogs...Also a NO a dogs tail gives them natural balance so Fighters didnt have their tail docked. Please if you are going to answer a question know what your talking people ask questions for a real answer not someone prejudice.

Why do people clip their pit bulls ears?

There are essentially two grounds for ear-cropping in dogs. The first and most widespread is cosmetic in certain breeds of dogs where these dogs are typically shown at exhibitions or competitions and where the cropped ear remains in the breed standard; the second is sanitary in working breeds where the dogs ears are otherwise vulnerable to serious injury. In the latter not only is the working dog saved significant pain and discomfort in the field, there is not need to continually administer potent antibiotics to counter infections. Outlawing clinical practice has forced the surgery 'underground' in many countries.


What would be the best doggie door for a Boston Terrier?

Though Boston terriers are a smaller sized breed of dog, the best thing to do is measure your dog and decide from there. Boston terriers can be rambunctious, so maybe pick a door that can be locked by humans when need be. The best option would be to discuss this with your veterinarian for what is best for your pet.


Do boston terrier pups need their ears clipped?

No, unless you don't want them to have huge ears, because they almost ALWAYS stand up straight and they are ALWAYS huge, like bat ears. Take it from someone who has a 1 1/2 year old Boston Terrier. He has HUGE ears. Really really big ears. I wouldn't recommand doing that though.


Does your Boston terrier have to have a c section?

Due to their large heads, many Boston Terrier puppies do have to be born by caesarian as their heads will not fit through the birth canal. However, not all Boston Terriers need this and some can be born naturally. It is best for you to seek advice from your veterinarian as to whether your Dog will need one or not.

Should pitbull puppies ears be cropped?

No! It hurts them just as much as us cutting one of our fingers off, its the same story with their tails. People either do that for the looks or if they put their dogs to fight. Some people think that if you freeze it before you cut it off it won't hurt them but that ain't true.


How long do you have til its to late to clip my min pins tale?

I own and used to breed min pins so know the answer to this very well. Tails and dewclaws should be done no later than 3 days old. If it hasn't been done and your dog is older, check with your vet. It may be too late. You also need to ask yourself why you want the tail docked and if it is that important to you, why did you get a dog that's tail is not docked? Ideally it should be done at 3 mos. However I have personally had a Min Pins ears cropped as late as 1.5 years of age and they stood fine. I owned a Min Pin in the 1960s and his tail at 6 weeks was already cropped. I didn't have his ears done simply because I don't believe in this cruel fashion and no one can say it isn't cruel. It's all in the name of the breeder and showing off the dog. How would you like your tail bone cropped and your ears cropped, stitched and dipped in brandy?
