FYI.The UK and many other countries have banned ear cropping in all breeds due to studies that suggest that dogs die of heart failure easier when they have cropped ears--especially under anesthesia.The nerve is responsible for slowing down the heart and when it is severed--the regulation is no longer functioning properly.A quick Google will confirm these studies.

I am so glad to learn that. I had no idea. I knew it was banned in Europe but I can understand why now. My little girls ears were done at 3weeks. I did not know any better at the time because of listening to the breeder. Then, with my male, we had his done. The vet said they needed to be at least 3months old. So, we had his done then. His ears look great. The little girls are alittle bit shorter than his. But, thanks for the info. I will never again have ears cropped.

What in the heck happened to all the zillion of posts on this thread???? We already hashed this out to the Nth degree..... and, as far as I am concerned, PROVED that cropped ears do *NOT* cause heart failure in dogs.

Ear cropping was NOT banned in Europe for the stated reason. It was banned because some felt that any cosmetic surgeries on animals were cruel.
