yes the pit bull breed. should have there ears croped at about ten to twelve weeks of age. there are a number of reasons for this but the main one is the pup ears when the are born flop like lab ears. and after six weeks to twelve weeks there ears will start to lift up and stick out to the side. the reason they stick out to the side and not up. is they are to heave. at this time once you crop them and take the wait off and shape them the almost naturally stick up at this time. and that is why pit bull ears stand up allot faster then other breeds like dobbies,grate Danes, boxers, and so on. most of those breeds need to have a brace on for about twenty one days . and the pit bull will only need to be taped to a quarter of that time.. so i hope this helped you on your quest on cropping ears...........

Can you crop newborn puppy ears?
You cannot crop a newborn puppy's ears until they are about 10 days old, or until the ears "open." It will usually take up to three corrections to make the ears match, because they seem to grow at different rates. I do the first cropping at ten days, then do the corrections at one week intervals, using a little lidocaine to minimize pain. I also believe in pain meds and antibiotics after cropping. It is a very painful procedure. Some countries have banned ear cropping, which I think is wonderful. I try to talk people out of cropping when possible but it seems more humane at the younger ages, rather than waiting until the puppy is 9 weeks old or older. Dr. C. Hobbs
What age do french lop ears flop?
A lopped earred baby rabbit can have lopped ears right away (10 days old) to 2 months. If they are not lopped by 2 months of age they probably won't lop at all or they will not lop properly. Baby rabbits that are born in the winter are more likely to have poor ear carriage than ones born in the summer.

DoCking a 9 month dogs ears?
There is no age limit to when you should dock your dogs ears. it is perfectly fine to crop your dogs ears even when they are fully grown. some vets may not do it because it will be a longer procedure but im sure there is a vet that would do it. some people even get their dogs ears crop when they a few years old. the only difference from when their older is that the taping would have to be on longer and the healing may take some time
