The behavior of cutting ears generally appears in dog grooming activities. Dog lovers are considering dressing up their dogs for competitions, or making them look more attractive, or just showing off their good looks. This practice of cutting ears can really make some varieties look more beautiful, such as Samoyed, Bixiong and Song Shiquan. Some breeds' ears even meet Kennedy's standard and iconic image, such as Bulldog, Su Mu and Great Dane.

2. Health problems

The shape of ears and the network of nerves and blood vessels make them easy to deposit dust, dirt and bacteria. In particular, we should pay close attention to some dog breeds, such as Griffin, standard VIP and Beardog, which are more prone to ear infections than other dog breeds. This is related to their ear shape and long hair. Ear cutting can reduce the possibility of ear diseases in dogs to some extent. Dogs' ears are easier to dry and ventilate after being cut short, which is very beneficial to prevent infection.

3. Special education needs

Some working dogs need to cut their ears to reduce possible injuries. For example, hunting dogs need to cut their ears short to reduce the possibility of ear injury when walking in dense forests. In addition, some police dogs, hunting dogs and other special working dogs also need to cut their ears to facilitate their work.

4. Just for beauty?

Just like many people have plastic surgery or knives to look beautiful, some dog owners like to cut their ears just because they think it is fashion and trend. This behavior is strongly resisted in some countries and regions. In the United States, some States have banned ear cutting. Therefore, any dog owner who wants to cut his ears should seriously consider it and consult a professional veterinarian.
