What is a fighting cut and what is a show cut? Please elaborate. If the hood is open, the engine cools off faster  The reason ears help cool the dog is because there is more surface for the blood to expel heat. The vessels are close to the surface and the heat escapes very quickly. It has nothing to do with the ear hole itself being open since it is not the actual ear that gets rid of the heat. I prefer for my dogs not to have cropped ears bit I have owned a few with cropped ears. Part of the reason people crop ears is, so when they get cut, they can't shake their head, flopping their ears around, and bust open the cuts over and over again. Deuce is the firs dog I have done however, so I don't have much experience with it, but so far so good. I have never heard this either. If you ever have this problem just put some superglue on the backside of the ears and glue them together on the top of their head. Sometimes the hair on the back of the ears needs to be clipped for this to be effective. By the time the glue wears off the ears should be healed, if not just do the same thing again. I have super glued so many times I couldn't begin to count lol, never tried to glue them to the head, I guess the ear crop may fix this part of the solution  . Like I said, this is my first ear crop. Im gonna see how it goes. |

My pit has cropped ears and he hears a bay before I do sometimes. Whenever he holds his breath to listen we all stop moving and do the same. I will say he is the only dog that doesn’t have a bloody mess for ears (briars) at the end of the day. Wild dog’s ears all stand up to catch as much sound as possible and we don’t cover up a satellite dish with leather to increase signal. But I‘ve never ran a LCD with natural ears so maybe I’m missing something.
Ears might be blocked up. Pour a capful of peroxide in the ear and rub the base of the ear so it gets down in it. Then let em get up but jump back as he will shake his head hard and liquid ear build up will fly out! Repeat on other ear. Just hose him off after as the peroxide will bleach out spots of fur if left on.

Had a dogo that got cronic ear infections. His ears were cropped but that wasn't what caused the infections. He couldn't hear worth a darn until I got the infection cleared up. After a week or so he'd be good to go until he caught a hog....then the ear infection would come back. Took him to the vet and had blood work done and the damn dog was allergic to PORK. LOL! Paid a pretty penny for him, shipped him in from Argentina as a pup. He was a cull to me. Whats the use in a hog dog that's allergic to prok.  IMO the dog is either deaf in one ear or has some sort of blockage. The ears shouldn't make a difference. |
