Just a guess, but it may be a holdover from dog fighting. Ears and tails may have been cropped because they were liabilities.
That is an incorrect answer. The Pit Bull was a game dog originally used for hunting large game. The ears were cropped due to the fact that big ears make handles that can be torn and cause bleeding. AS for the "Fighting" you are way off base. Cropped Ears arent commonly found on "Fighting" Dogs as it leaves the ear opened and exposed which can lead to infection. Also tail docking in Fighting dogs...Also a NO a dogs tail gives them natural balance so Fighters didnt have their tail docked. Please if you are going to answer a question know what your talking people ask questions for a real answer not someone prejudice.

Why do people clip their pit bulls ears?
There are essentially two grounds for ear-cropping in dogs. The first and most widespread is cosmetic in certain breeds of dogs where these dogs are typically shown at exhibitions or competitions and where the cropped ear remains in the breed standard; the second is sanitary in working breeds where the dogs ears are otherwise vulnerable to serious injury. In the latter not only is the working dog saved significant pain and discomfort in the field, there is not need to continually administer potent antibiotics to counter infections. Outlawing clinical practice has forced the surgery 'underground' in many countries.
Is fighting pitbulls wrogn?
Fighting pit bulls involves chaining young dogs with the heaviest chains possible to make them strong and ''harden'' them. Then their ears are cropped (cut off) to make them look tougher and to stop the ears from being torn off. After that, a stray dog is caught, muzzled and tied up for use as a ''bait dog'' which the young Pit Bull is forced to attack. Then the owners organise secret fights in which the Pit Bulls are FORCED to fight each other in a pit. Onlookers bet on which dog will win and which dog will lose or be killed. The loser of the fight (if it is still alive) is then taken out back and killed or left to die. So you decide whether you think it is wrong.
