EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

i know that we should bring them to the vet for it but thats not what im wanting to do i know the age is between 7 and 12 weeks now what i want to know is how to do it im lookin for a long cut kinda ike a doberman but will be on a pit i really would appretiate yalls in put thanks

Cropping ears is rather pointless to start with but if you must have it, I would say that since you dont know what you are doing it would be best to take the dog to a vet and have it done.

Just saying

x2!!!! I like a pitbull with natural ears anyways, but thats JMO!!  ;)

But my buddy had a pit pup that had crooked ears that probably would have looked better cropped!  :D

So is bob-tailing, but folks do it...

From what I've read; it is illegal to crop a dog's ears in the U. S. unless you are a licensed vet, and In some states, ear cropping is completely illegal!

Here is a link to instructions and regulations of cropping. Good luck!

I have a pit pup whose ears naturally stand straight up like a chihuahua! LOL He is a ugly little dog, but his ears give him personality.

 One of our cd's ears are cropped. They were already cropped when we got him and he is always shaking his head in the wind or when riding in the back of the truck. I guess he doesn't like the wind blowing in his uncovered ears. His ears look cool and all but i would never pay to have ones ears cropped because thats a lot of money just to change a dogs appearance in my oppinion. But to each his own. :)

yeah dj im with yu on the high dollar croppin the cheapest ive found around here is 455 with a 100 visit on top of that ive never brought any of my dogs to the vet and dont plan on it

thanks case thats what i what i wanted to know

If you are gonna do it yourself be sure and use a hatchet!........Im just sayin rolleyes

LMAO!  Is that how you do the bullgos Paul?

I got a little black pit gyp that had her ears cropped before I got her and she looks like somebody done it with a chainsaw. I got a white male and his are natural and he looks just fine. Doesn't make the dog any better. JMO

Trent you know we do ours with a pair of pliers and a blow torch....lol

If ur a hog hunter u can ask anybody 90% of all dogs get there ears cut up u give it enough time they will prolly crop thereselves

I had a pit/dogo with ears that stood straight up like that, that sucker could hear a dog baying at a 1/2 mile over the noise of a running 4-wheeler...lol

Some folks down the road got a pit jip with full stand up ears.  Cant make up my mind whether it looks like a souped up chiwawa or a gremlin. ;D
