Of course it hurts! Do not crop dog's ears!
Don't listen to them, you can have a dogs ears cropped. Obviously it does hurt them, but that is okay.
No, as ear cropping was banned many years ago in England; which is where Crufts in held. Even if your dog was cropped legally in another country, it cannot be shown at any championship shows in England.
Cropping a dog's ear is cutting a portion of the ear off. Some dogs rely on this outer ear to protect the inner ear from water and bugs and etc, so cropping this type of ear can, indeed, be bad for the dog. Hunting dogs sometimes have their ears cropped to, theoretically, protect them from animals that will grab the ear and/or to protect them from the pain and blood loss of a torn ear from running through the brush. This is about the only valid reason for cropping the ears of a dog. In most other cases, cropping is completely unneeded and even the AKC has recently ruled that lack of cropping is not a disqualification for dogs with traditionally cropped ears. A show dog should be judged by the quality of the dog, not the quality of the doctor who hacks off his ears. If you want a short-eared dog, breed short ears onto them.
The Blue Heeler (or Australian Cattle Dog) should not be cropped if it is to be shown professionally, as the ears should be natural according to the official Breed Standard. However, providing you live in an area where ear cropping is legal, the Blue Heelers' ears may be cropped for whatever reason.
Cause its scared of the other dog.
i am pretty sure you can but not that sure that it will not hurt at all :(
Dogs have a keen sense of hearing, so when you blow in your canines ear, it punctures their ear drum much more than it would a humans.
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.
Yes, absolutely! Vets are the responsible place to get it done.
Yes it can temporally hurt the ear but the ear will recover
Short answer NO. Anything that hard into the ear can cause a drum rupture if not handled properly; they tend to move & thus make it easy for you to hurt them. Use cotton ball, few drop of dog ear cleaner from pet store, and use your fingers to push it far (cotton won't hurt the dog) into the canal & clean. Regular cleaning helps.
if loud noises hurt your ear you may have an inner ear infection, have you been to the doctor lately?
i an answering the question ( does stcreching your ear hurt?) right i have my ear percied 2 time on each ear, and on my right ear i have a 6g streching, going from a 0.00g to a 4g didnt hurt at all, it was a litlle pop and it was streched then the 6g one hurt i didnt cry it just hurt a little. so the higher you go the more it will hurt.
