Never. There is no reason this should ever be done. It is inhumane and unnecessary.

A schnauzers ears should be cropped between 6 and 10 weeks old, any later than that and your odds of them standing goes down. It is not necessary to have the cropped, however many show dogs still do this to keep the original look of the breed. The ears are usually completely heeled by 9 weeks of age if done at six weeks. It is a cosmetic surgery for dogs, just like many humans have things changed.
