yeah, i know it is still legal practice in America and the law over here doesnt say that you cant import a dog with cropped ears!

so you can get dogs with cropped ears, but it is a matter of choice of the new owner!

Re: Ear Cropping?

I would never have mine done even if it was legal - although some of the shows in America I have seen - some breeds do look very regal with their ears cropped - but I couldnt do it!

Re: Ear Cropping?

If they are born with it they should keep it! Ok so neutrering and spaying i do tend to agree with this day and age! Even though my boy had his tail docked i wished they hadnt! Surely it's gotta hurt?????

Talking Re: Ear Cropping?

all it is is a pointless cosmetic surgery that is totally unneccessary. i have always been against it as it causes unneccessary suffering to dogs. it is ludacrous to think that people get their dogs ears cropped and think it is ok and stylish!!! come on what planet are they from????????
