so we do ear cropping at my work. mostly dobermans. we're the only clinic within 200 miles that does it, so we kinda see a lot of them. and before anyone gets bitchy about it, we do a really good job, we do it humanly with with pain management, and it's way better for them to come to us and have it done right that to try it at home with a razor blade. that being said, most of the time i think the dogs look adorable with the floppy ears. while i can see why this might not make the most imposing looking guard dog, there's nothing wrong with a family dog looking all cute and cuddly. so usually i'm a little bummed when the owners decided to go through with it. that was not the case this week. we had a dog come in who has probably some of the silliest looking ears i have ever seen in my life. i have honestly never once seen a dog like this before. he kind of reminds me of the song "do your ears hang low." this was probably the first time i was relieved that the owners opted for ear cropping. at least he'll look like a real dog now.
