ear cropping is done to make the dog look alert at all times . done mainly on guard type dogs .

Nothing to do with looks mate but you wont get the answer on the open forum !

like what as been said regarding making the dog alert , but stems back to fighting dogs

i had some italian and american import neopolitan mastiffs years ago that were cropped, done in different styles and lengths depending on which region of the country they came from. they're done at a few weeks old, cut to shape and then sewn up around the edges.

cropping of ears is done for the appearance it produces.

Well i'm dammed .Theres me ,always thought it was because ears bleed a lot and blood got in the fighting dogs eye .Well thats me told ,obviously .

for any working dog - fighting, hog dog, guard dog - its a risk to have ears because the prey/opponent/bad guy could grab the dog by the ear and cause serious damage.

 

i wont judge a person by their dogs ears because its either for working purposes/sporting/or looks. one of my favourite breeds is the Doberman but i have to admit i like them better with cropped ears. i wouldnt pay to have it done.... but i wouldnt over look a dog just because of its ears. i like the doberman personality, but do like the sharp/alert look on the cropped dogs. i've owned several dobermans in my life and only one had cropped ears. everyone was scared to death of him. he looked vicious! but he was harmless... it was the springer spaniel we had that would rip your ass off. you didnt get out of your car if "Fred" was loose.
