[quote1300023780=cawkazn] so im wondering as far as the ear crop goes for my male. yes its possible to clip his ears at his age, but is it going to put him through much pain? would doing it by laser make any difference? [/quote1300023780] The 500 dollars you are going to spend on chopping his ears you can spend on trainning classes, new collars,new harnesses there is a lot you can do for your dog with that money that will pay off much better than cropping them. I am sure like all of our dogs he can leave new things, I would find a really good trainer and spend it on a fun class for your dog.
