* Cutting or cropping a dog's ears should only be done by a veterinarian, and should NOT be done at home. First of all, the procedure requires anesthesia. Without anesthesia, the procedure would be incredibly painful for a dog. (Plus, the dog would not be likely to hold still!) And if you are not a veterinarian, but you try to give anesthesia to a dog, you can easily kill it. In addition to the whole anesthesia/pain question, you could also potentially kill your dog by giving it an infection if you didn't do the procedure with properly clean technique. For instance, everything that touches any part of an incision on a dog has to be sterile. This is NOT something you can mess with at home - it's NOT something you can learn to do on the internet. It takes training and practice. In addition to all of that, you would have to have appropriate tools for this minor surgical procedure - veterinary tools. You can't just take sharp scissors and do this - they don't cut the way surgical tools do. If you decided you wanted your own ears cropped, would you want someone to do this to you at home, or would you want to go to a doctor? It's not like getting your ear pierced. Please take your dog to a vet. If you love your dog, have this done right. If you can't afford to take your dog to a vet, contact a local pit bull rescue society to see whether they might help. If they know that your alternative is to try this at home, they just might help. * I totally agree with the above poster and I would just like to add, that dogs ears SHOULDN'T be cropped! It's painful and cruel! How would you like someone cropping your ears because they felt you should have pointed ears instead of the ones you have! Let the dog be. Pitbulls don't need their ears cropped. Bravo!
Ear cropping is illegal in all of Australia, but it is still legal in most of America and Canada.
No go to the vet and ask them what you need to do.
You can have a puppies ears cropeed between 8 and 10 weeks of age.
No he did not. He only cut of the lobe of his ear.
This is really a matter of personal opinion as this is really only a cosmetic operation. There are generally four accepted styles of ear crop for Pit Bulls: the Battle Crop, Short Crop, Show Crop and Long Crop. The Battle Crop involves removing the entire of the outer ear and, as its name suggests, is usually seen on Dogs destined for the pit. The Short Crop is one of the most common crops seen on Pit Bulls and involves leaving only a small amount of the outer ear intact. The Show Crop is for owners who want to show their Dogs and involves the ears being shortened slightly and cut into the desired pointed shape so that the Dog looks smart and alert for the show ring. The Long Crop is quite rarely seen on Pit Bulls and takes the longest to heal, it involves leaving the ear as long as possible and only trimming what is needed to give a nice pointed shape. So, it is up to you.
take it to the vet. period.
Some people prefers the ears uncut but most prefer the ear low-cut like me. They are suposed to look like you want. There are various type of ear crops depending on the length you want them: battle crop, short crop, show crop, and long crop.
