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.
Some dog breeds that have naturally pricked ears include the German Shepherd, Siberian Husky, Pembroke Welsh Corgi, and Basenji. These breeds are known for their alert and attentive appearance due to their erect ears.
Clipping a dog's ears is a controversial practice and is illegal in many countries. It is important to consider the well-being of the animal before cosmetic procedures like ear clipping, as it can be painful and harmful to the dog. It is recommended to consult with a veterinarian for advice on appropriate care for your pet's ears.

It must be done when they are a puppy, or so I'm told. But.... Unless you're showing your dog, their is no reason why you should clip your dog's ears. It is a painful process that can lead to complications later in life. Snip off chunks of your ears before trying on your dog... like it?
Not all German Shepherds ears go up.
ear clipping is legal when performed by a licenced veterinarian, but it is illegal in several states.
German Shepherd's are born with naturally floppy ears as their cartilage in their ears has not yet developed enough to support them. Most German Shepherd's ears will stand up eventually, all though there are sometimes Dogs that retain their floppy ears. The vast majority, however, will have erect ears in time.
