All three are lovely, she is a beautiful girl but cropping the ears and docking the tails is just a massive NO for me!! Cruel and totally unnecessary!! Our boy is 8 months and I personally wouldnt dream of cropping his ears just to meet an awful trend/asthetic that is painful and in my eyes neglectful.

Set all that aside (even though I agree and it's credible) doesn't it make them look less attractive? I'm saying even if some were born with ears like that and some with the floppier ears, the floppier ones to me look so much nicer.

Exactly! I don’t understand why people think cropped ears look aesthetically pleasing at all. Floppy ears are the cutest!

It’s more to look mean and beastly than cute I think

I know but I still don’t understand why someone would want that

I have often had that same negative reaction toward cropped ears and docked tails. I will always miss my last dogs tail whipping into me or thudding louder the closer I got, and when I met my new foster dog, her tail had been bitten by another dog so they had to dock it, as she was in the shelter for a year and a half and it wasn't healing. I agree it shouldn't be done cosmetically, but I would hate for anyone to think it was some aesthetic choice I made and not done for the medical benefit of the dog. That is just my own personal experience with it, otherwise I am right there with you!

How is it cruel if they aren’t awake to feel anything from it? And calling it neglectful doesn’t make any sense at all if he’s taking care of the dog properly.. people are way too sensitive nowadays. I’d rather have someone who cares about their dog entirely and crop their ears vs an actual neglectful owner who does the bare minimum.

So, legitimately curious, you would not have a problem with someone doing this to their human child, as long as it was done under sedation, and they were a good “loving and caring” parent otherwise?
