[quote1299906107=cawkazn] how old is too old to crop a dogs ears? i heard about a laser surgery that supposedly you can crop the dogs ears and its much better and painless etc. I always wanted to crop my dogs ears, I would like to do so if possible but not if its going to cause him a lot of pain. [/quote1299906107] read the above david. theres nothing wrong with asking. I wanted to crop his ears but I couldnt afford it at the time. now I can but he is old. and that is why i asked the question. as for the harness, if you read what i said when i posted it, I originally bought it to make her look "cool" when I first got her about 5 yrs ago, she was my first pitbull and the breed was new to me and the whole bully side is what i was exposed too and all the bully shows and what not. anyways, i never use that thing anymore, but that day I decided to put it on her to offer some protection because she will get scratches on her chest from running through the brush. going back to the ears, my female actually has a small tear towards the corner of her ear, I have no idea how she got it, it was a long time ago but it looks like it may have got caught on something, or maybe torn playing with my other dogs. cropped ears being less prone to infection makes sense as the ear can get aired out. when I was a kid we had a springer spaniel, he was always getting ear infections from his long droopy ears, when he got old he went deaf because of the chronic ear infections.
