What is dog ear cropping?
Ear cropping is a cosmetic operation that is performed on certain breeds for show. It involves a veterinarian cutting the ears into a point whilst the dog is under general anaesthetic. The operation is performed in an attempt to get the dog's ears to stand upright instead of being in their natural folded position. The ears require bandaging and wrapping for several months after the operation to get them to stand in the correct position. The operation is now illegal in the UK. It is performed on Boxers, Dobermanns, Schnauzers, American Staffordshire Terriers (Pit Bulls) and some other breeds.
