Ear Crop

i had my dogs ears cropped and they came out great, but i still wish i would have kept them. i miss the feeling of petting his ears and they show a lot of emotion. once you do it theres no turning back.

 

i think ear cut very amateurish​

 

I use to crop my females just to show people the difference between cropped and el' narural but I no long do it because for one, the vets around me only seem to do the longer show crop and the tips of my mutts ears would almost always curve in (which I really didn't like, I prefer the shorter crop personally) however I stopped cropping a few years ago all together simply because I think the dogs are much more exspressionate with their ears.

 

your dog----thats maleya isnt it?

 

its not a matter of "pro" or "amateur", its personal preference. i have both, because i like both

id like to add i dont give two sh*ts if people think it makes my dog look "meaner" :rolleyes:...i dont take mine in town anyway.

 

I think Daisy's crop came out awesome....

 

Dam i think that bitch would have look great either way lol Great lookin bitch you got there!!!

 

thanks very very much!

 

I agree. I have both and like both.
My six month old redboy/OFRN bitch. She got a little longer then a short crop.

 

Sweet jesus, Thats my kind of dog. :eek::cool:

 

thanks...I aint found too many folks that didnt like her..she is an awesome dog...very flattered of your compliment

 

I never crop my dogs ears. What for?

 

20 years ago we called it combat crop (butchered)and then as now they are poorly done and look stupid.

By the OP examples the ideal cut is about 2.5 to stay proportionate to the animals physical head mass.

 

i love the looks of it especially on a show dog but i have still yet to have it done on any of my dogs

 

I don't know if calling it a "fighting crop" will get you results at all c'mon now! Its actually called a "battle crop". I dont know where you are but in L.A. where I live I know a place that'll do it for 150.00. I really don't think it's necessary but its your choice.

 

This is what I would think would happen, but I've read that dogs with cropped ears natural like German Shepherds or cosmetically done like Dobbies & others have "ventilation" and debris and dirt are somehow flushed out. I guess there aren't the folds natural ears have to trap dirt.

 

The crop, the dog's mug all that looks perfect.

 

In this area, we call it a " Devil Crop".

 

after a hog rips one of your dogs ears and cost you almost a grand to have em fixed and then croped as an adult the 150 200 as a pup sure seems like a good investment. JMO

 

wow! while do have to say that i prefer the natural look, the crops u guys posted look plain awesome. beautiful bunch of dogs. and when it comes to the diagram, id say 3 and 4 are my cup of tea
