Why do dogs have their ears cropped? It turns out there are these reasons~

You should have seen a lot of dogs in daily life, but have you ever seen a dog with cropped ears? At first glance, it seems that the dog's ears are missing a little, but it does not seem to affect the appearance. So what are the reasons that prompt dog owners to crop their dogs' ears? Let's unravel the mystery with the editor~

The main reasons for cropping dogs' ears are as follows:

1. Ear cropping for working dogs: It is easy to understand that there are Doberman pinschers serving as military dogs in the People's Liberation Army, but we all know that Doberman Pinscher's ears are actually naturally droopy. In some dangerous tasks, droopy ears are likely to affect the completion of the task. Therefore, in order to complete the mission and for the life of the military dog, ear cropping is necessary.

2. Pitbulls have their ears cropped: Pitbulls are specially bred to fight for people to watch and enjoy. These dogs are bred not to be afraid of pain, but their ears happen to be where the most pain-sensing nerves are distributed. In order to make the dogs ignore most of the pain, ear cropping is also necessary.

3. Ear cropping to prevent infection: The naturally drooping ears of some special dog breeds, such as Schnauzers, will block the already poorly ventilated ear canals even more tightly. Therefore, in order to reduce the occurrence of ear canal diseases, ear cropping is also necessary.

In addition to the above reasons, some dog owners will crop their dogs’ ears for the sake of appearance. In fact, this is unnecessary. I hope dog owners can treat their dogs well.
