Best Answer

People crop ears and dock tails because they think it makes the dog look tougher or more aggressive. It's not a sign that dogs have been in fights - it's more often a cosmetic procedure that has become something of a standard on breeds like Doberman Pinschers and Boxers. It's often done when the dogs are puppies and actually takes a lot of work. Their ears have to be cut, then bandaged, then splinted so they stand up and grow to be that way. The entire process can take 2-3 months, plus a lot of money and vet visits.

Just for fashion, and a preference for upstanding ears.

I don't know if it is officially illegal, but why would you do it? When cropping a dogs' ears, they're taking to the vet and put under anesthetic, so they don't feel pain.Some people chop their dogs ears off or cut them off with scissors are being very stupid; the dogs are in pain for days and the ears don't heal properly.Please, If you get your dog's ears cropped--go to a vet.Besides, if someone finds out you cut your dog's ears off you can get in deep trouble; it is considered animal cruelty.
