CROPPED OR NOT?

Cropping a dogs ears improves a dogs expression and enhances the dogs look.........

SCORES NO 88% YES 12%

It does nothing for their looks and there's no reason for it at all IMO.

Yes i think it LOOKS great but it serves no purpose. It is a painful operation and is also very uncomfortable for the dog with the bandages etc post op. At least there is kind of an excuse for docking tails but there is NO excuse for ear cropping any more!!!!

it is barbaric. they should be as nature intended. the dogs have no say in the matter. S.T.

Herr Doberman created the Doberman Pinscher to be cropped!

It changes expression and looks but doesn't improve on them IMO. Joanne

I dislike any form of mutilation to a dog - it should be left as nature intended   Jacky

I don't see what purpose cropping serves, and it is, I believe rather painful for the dog. Andrea
