I consider everybody’s decision to have its dogs ears cropped or not.  The other dog I had, had long, uncropped ears.  It managed to hurt itself on an accidental dog fight, and for  years we had problems with its ears. Because it were long, anytime it shake his head, the ears started to bleed.It took months to heal, and it was very painful to the dog. It doesn’t liked to be petted on its head because of this.

That was one issue I decided to crop.

The other was pure aesthetic. Blame me, but that’s the true. About 15 years ago, when I first saw a Doberman, the very first thing that made an impression was HOW IT LOOKED. That time all dobermans had cropped ears, and it really changes the look of the dog. So I decided to have its ears cropped.

I didn’t had my ears cropped, so I am just guessing here, but I am sure it doesn’t suffered as much as it looks like. The cropping was made by doctors, under general anesthesia, the dog was up and playing after 2 hours like nothing happened.  I figured out, it was more unpleasant the itching while the ears were healing, but it only took about 2 weeks.
