Hello to all,
Do you people know someone who does ears cropping in or around Winnipeg?
thanks

Is it for looks or for health reasons?

is because they are working dogs, and the ears should be always cropped.
(they are dogos argentinos)

thanks

I've seen many dogos without cropped ears... unless you have them running through brush alot or working with other animals cropping isnt really nec.

I know with my dogs breed (Caucasian Ovcharka) the breeder has the cropping done at a few days old.
Is that not something the breeder does in the case of Dogo Argentino?

Do vet's not do that for you. I do not believe in cropping ears as it is very painful however, you sound adamant on doing it so I would ask anyone you know in your area or call some vet's and make sure they have done this many times before as some dog's get a jagged cut that looks bad. How old are your dog's as again they should be very young so they do not remember the procedure. Remember vet's are only human so be assertive as to what you are looking for and want. If they find you to intimidating then they do not deserve your business. Alway's remember the dog has only you to protect them.

that is because the vet did not do it right. or the owner never take care of his/her dog.
My dogos never had any problem.
