Ear cropping is performed on certain breeds for cosmetic reasons and serves no real purpose other than for looks. Supporters claim that cropping the ears prevents infections and mites. As the operation is performed under anaesthetic it is painless, but of course all operations carry a risk. Therefore it is a matter of personal opinion whether you agree with this operation or not. It is not damaging to the dog's health unless something goes wrong whilst the dog is under the anaesthetic.
