I'm mostly against it.

I personally would not have it done to any of my pets, unless it needed to be done due to a medical problem. I also don't mind if others have to have it done as long as it will help the dogs health.

I am for it though ONLY if the breed standard says that it HAS to be done AND ONLY if you are showing that dog. BUT I do wish that the AKC & other organizations would change it so that you could show natural ears.



I was wondering was there ever a reason to crop ears? Like some breeds of dogs have their tails docked because they heard, it prevents them from getting it stepped on, or hunting dogs where it prevents damage that could occur while running through overgrowth and the like. But I've never heard of a logical (other than looks) reason to crop ears.
