Cut or not to cut the ears?

[arcejs]

Not sure if cut her ears or no...

What are your suggestions?
What is the ideal age to do it?

I think if you are going to have them cropped it should be done between 6 and 12 weeks. My first boxers ears were cropped but with my second we chose to leave them natural and floppy and I love them. But I guess the decesion would be up to you as to what you would like to do. I myself would leave them floppy. Good luck in whatever you decide to do

Thanks for the answer... he is kinda big then for cropp her ears (not sure if is correct,since my native language is not english).

She is 16 weeks, and i dont want her to suffer.

I like his ears natural, but "cropped" seems more cute and mean =P

Thnks again.

16 weeks is really too late. Enjoy her floppy ears.

I vote to leave them floppy. Do not cut them now. It is painful and takes a lot of work with bandages and splints to get them to look right.

Thnks for the suggestions... Floppy ears will be =)


Just came from the Vet, Freya got his vaccum, (vaccine shot).

Good to read replies =)

Jada had hers done at 9 weeks. We went with a short natural crop so not as much work with the taping. The one ear will bend at times as it didn't heal the same but I didn't feel the need to make her uncomfortable with taping and my opinion is . . It gives her character. I have to be honest and she never showed one minute of discomfort. I can tell you she was a lot more out of it when she was fixed then when she had her ears done. BUt I belive it's totally personal choice a boxer is beautiful either way.
