well if your boxer is a working dog them yes , but if you just want a companion then in my opinion : no it is very tramutizing for the dog . bu it all depends on you! :)
How much it costs to get a boxer's tail and ears docked will vary from vet to vet. They need to be around 8-10 weeks old.
The Blue Heeler (or Australian Cattle Dog) should not be cropped if it is to be shown professionally, as the ears should be natural according to the official Breed Standard. However, providing you live in an area where ear cropping is legal, the Blue Heelers' ears may be cropped for whatever reason.
You dont. Ears are cropped. They SHOULD be done by a vet. You can look at this website, it talks about the care, and how cropping is done.
Dobes have big floppy ears like beagles. Their ears are cropped at an angle so that scar tissue will hold them erect for a more alert and "sharp" look.
No their ears stand up on their own.
Of course it hurts! Do not crop dog's ears! Don't listen to them, you can have a dogs ears cropped. Obviously it does hurt them, but that is okay.
Ear cropping was originally used to prevent the dog's ears from becoming torn in fights with other dogs or wolves. Today it is performed on certain breeds for cosmetic reasons. In countries were it is still legal, ear cropping is done to make the dog look better for shows and to match the Breed Standard. Boxers can be shown cropped or natural, depending on the owners preference. Although the operation is illegal in England, in America almost all show Boxers are cropped. There is no real purpose other than for looks, but supporters of the operation claim that it helps keep the ears free from mites and prevents infections.
When you crop a dogs ears, they do not grow back.
Boxers are very intelligent, active, and at times goofy working class dogs. They love being the center of attention and are very devoted to their families. Traditionally the boxers were guard dogs with cropped ears and tail, but this has shifted to a more family friend temperament. In recent years it is more common to see the friendly boxer with natural ears although tail docking is still popular.
It is a matter of preference. Some people prefer the tails and ears cropped and some do not. What is "cute" to some may be ugly to others.
there is a funnel you put around his neck to stop this.
Antibiotic ointment is usually safe for dogs. On clipped ears you can use it if there is no infection or open wounds. If these are present, you should take them to the Vet to get proper care and medication.
