I helped the vet crop a client's Doberman pup's ears this morning. I know not everyone agrees with this topic so I decided to put it here. I have had a dog's ears cropped before. As most of you know it is a dream of mine to show and breed Great Danes someday down the line. I've always thought that I was going to crop all my show dogs ears and keep all the pet Danes natural. After watching the ear cropping this morning I've decided that if at all possible I might just be very picky about what dogs I crop and keep them mostly natural.
I've found that the surgery is actually totally unnecessary for pet quality dogs. I thought long and hard about this when I was picking up and throwing away the floppy little ears of the puppy after surgery. I've learned so much working at the vet clinic. Seeing how some of these procedures are done makes me think twice about somethings.
