Has traits of both mom and dad!

I've never thought about it before but you don't really see many people owning families of dogs. They'll either own a mom, a dad or a pup. Now I really want to own a dog family.

[–]CravingSunshine 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

It's because dog families are oftentimes quite large and it can be expensive to own so many doggos. As cute as that would be! My cousin breeds and trains sled dogs in Alaska so she gets to own a family of doggos.

Why clip their ears?

[–]narsilsmaster 210ポイント211ポイント  (38子コメント)

Its fucked up to clip a dogs ears for aesthetic value.

[–]Bmyrab 86ポイント87ポイント  (6子コメント)

Agree. Should be illegal everywhere. Is illegal some places.

[–]IDoNotHaveTits 26ポイント27ポイント  (5子コメント)

We have some shitty laws in the UK, but the fact that it's illegal to clip dogs' ears over here is pretty good.

[–]Tutush 15ポイント16ポイント  (4子コメント)

Illegal to declaw cats as well.

[–]Missa_doodikins 4ポイント5ポイント  (2子コメント)

New Jersey is working on this. I'm a vet tech and it makes me very happy. Hope ears and tails are next!

[–]Omahaniley 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

i wonder if theres a larger downside to this though. less people willing to adopt clawed cats. more cats end up being euthanized.

[–]anisopterasaurus 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I think they just passed the declaw law in NJ, didn't they?

[–]WetWepwawet 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

inbreeding for aesthetic value should be illegal. im looking at you pug lovers.

[–]VeeVeeLa 113ポイント114ポイント  (13子コメント)

It is. It's more ugly than cute to me. It's awful looking.

[–]pink_mango 70ポイント71ポイント  (12子コメント)

Pitts with clipped ears look more like the kind that will attack someone than ones with normal ears. I just associate them with gangsters.

[–]VeeVeeLa 8ポイント9ポイント  (6子コメント)

Yeah, I don't know how that was thought up. Torn ears are associated with fights I guess?

[–]caanthedalek 7ポイント8ポイント  (1子コメント)

No, cutting the ears makes it so that other dogs can't grab onto them in dogfighting.

[–]VeeVeeLa 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

So, either the people in this gif are involved in dog fighting, or they cut their dogs' ears off for no reason other than asthetics.

Or were they all adopted? The title lead me to believe the owner bred their dogs.

[–]pink_mango 12ポイント13ポイント  (3子コメント)

Well, a lot of a dogs behavior can be determined by its ears. Happy, aggressive, scared, etc. The cropped ears kind of look like it's ears are back in an aggressive way. Maybe that's why? Just a guess.

[–]VeeVeeLa 1ポイント2ポイント  (2子コメント)

Ehh, they don't look like that to me. Just pointed and cut. They might look that way to some people, I guess, but I don't see it personally.

[–]clivehorse 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

It's not about how it looks to people it's about how it looks to other dogs. If they've got no ears they can't signal submissiveness as well and avoid the other dog going for then

[–]VeeVeeLa 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

There's way more signals than just the ears going on when showing submissiveness. So I don't belive this is all accurate.

[–]FogeltheVogel 39ポイント40ポイント  (2子コメント)

That is it's original purpose. To make them look more threatening.

[–]the_short_viking 44ポイント45ポイント  (0子コメント)

I think it was more for function than aesthetics. But, if you fight dogs then fuck you and if you clips your dog's ears for the look then fuck you too.

[–]paulinamarie 57ポイント58ポイント  (0子コメント)

Also to pr vent them from getting ripped in a dog fight

[–]Vieris 6ポイント7ポイント  (1子コメント)

Historically, they weren't really cropped though for fighting. American staffordshires and American Bullies are now cropped in the show ring. edit: those cute doggos look like american bullies- and if you show them, they need to have cut ears

I see people caring about the ear clipping thing more though, it's weird.

[–]Awkwardstarwarsbabe 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

I grew up with dogs. All of my dogs have natural ears. We have had Dobermans. The first one we had, we kept it's natural adorable floppy ears. She ended up having chronic ear infections. Up until she died at age 5 to an unrelated disease. We took her to MANY vets and spent way too much money just keeping it slightly under control. We then got another. We researched and actually consulted many vets. We cropped his ears and kept up on medication and cleanings for the procedure. He has never had an ear infection and is extremely healthy and happy. The issue is that there are people who perform the extremely sensitive procedure by themselves.

[–]Feffen91 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

They are also cropped if they are used for hunting to avoid getting their ears tore by boar. So unless OP hunts boar then I don't know why they are cropped.

[–]Delsana 7ポイント8ポイント  (5子コメント)

I had heard sometimes it has to do with infections being possible otherwise but I'm not entirely certain that's always the case.

[–]Mulberry_mouse 14ポイント15ポイント  (4子コメント)

Nah- sometimes floppy ears can contribute to trapping moisture in a dog's ear, which can lead to yeast infections. But if that dog is fed a low-carb diet (no corn in the kibble) and his ears are wiped out periodically he's fine.

Pits aren't that kind of dog. Ear clipping and tail docking was strictly for fighting dogs, less for another dog to grab, grip, and tear. Now it's for aesthetics and they do it when the pups are two to six days old with a pair of surgical scissors, no anaesthesia, nothing. Severing a dog's spine with scissors at three days old for no other reason than some asshole want to look like a badass with a fighting dog.

The babies cry for hours in hideous pain and it's the saddest sound you'll ever hear.

[–]Delsana 5ポイント6ポイント  (3子コメント)

I can't believe a veterinarian would cut ears without doing it surgically with the right tools and without anesthetic and the comfort of the dog or for a reason, but maybe this is being down by people other than professionals.

[–]suckmydickzhang 4ポイント5ポイント  (1子コメント)

The operation (when done by a vet) is done with analgesia, but potentially the recovery can cause pain, and the fact that there are people out there would do it themselves with scissors etc.

But personally, regardless of how it's performed, it just seems what would come under the definition of 'unnnecessary suffering' (which is why it's banned over here, across the whole EU).

I believe dog shows still expect it don't they though? I'm sure I've seen the "dog show" look on a montage.

Kind of like the time this weird guy dressed in white robes and bright lights took a scalpel to my penis. I can't remember it but I'd imagine I wasn't all that pleased.

[–]Kanga_ 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I agree so much.

Take Dobermans for example. with cropped ears they look really mean, but with natural ears they look so beautiful!

[–]derkthunder -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

I've been told by people that some breeds have extremely large ears naturally. And as a result when they shake their head they end up causing small abrasions that never heal because they are constantly shaking their heads. Over time the damage adds up, can get infected, and cause a lot of pain.

So their owners have their ears clipped to prevent this. I don't know which breeds specifically though.

They both just kissed the puppy. This is adorable.

I agree, clipping ears is stupid and should be frowned upon in every single thread. I'm serious. That shit should be a source of shame for an owner.

Historically the cropped ears were for hunting. So that they didn't get tripped up in the bush.

[–]macmarie 3ポイント4ポイント  (3子コメント)

Whenever I read the comments on a post like this I cant help but wonder if all the people crying witch over the ear cropping also feel equally strongly about circumcising human babies.

[–]HoaryPuffleg 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

I do. I think it is unnecessary in a vast majority of boys and just cruel. Plus, I like having sexual relations with grown men who haven't been circumcised.

But the owners hated how they looked. The owners hated how their dogs looked so much, they physically mutilated their ears. They cut pieces of ear off.

Dogs don't seem to be in pain, they don't look like fighting dogs, sleeping on a sofa, both looking very healthy and well fed. Life seems good. I highly doubt they get ear infections, stop bitching. If you cut you for skin off on your dick, then does that mean your parents are shit parents? Logic people.

Before I clicked on the comments I placed a bet with my cousin here on whether the top comment would be about pit-bulls being the "sweetest dogs ever/nanny dogs," a sarcastic comment about their alleged viciousness, or a comment about the cropped ears. $10 to my cousin for the ear prediction!

It would be nice to be able to look at someone's dogs without getting into the clipping argument. People have their reasons, you don't know the whole story. I'm not advocating it but still, no need to insult them.
