ears

top clip or not to clip that is my question what are the advantages

 

it's a personal prefrence. i like mine natural. there are advantages and disadvantages but i don't think i should discuss in an open forum.

 

I keep mine all natrual. Its all a matter of prefrence

 

Leave there ears alone...It's just for looks thats all....

 

Ears are a personal preference and I personally prefer to leave the ears alone.

 

All natural is the way I like em

 

I'm a sucker for natural ears.

 

Thats always better then a cut ear

 

Cutting the ears is a mere personal preference, and we prefer natural ears here. No need in wasting money on an ear trim. A disadvantage of cut ears is they tend to be dirtier than natural ears...

Well.........i'm gonna be the one to break the mold. I like em cut and I like a short crop. (although I have dogs both ways) Nothing more than just a looks thing.

If I feel a dog is going to have a thick head, I tend to crop to accent the dogs head.

Ears would be a disadvantage to a dog in the []. Just another place to grab.

 

Having ears is a advantage...Would you perfer the dog get grabbed by the ear or the side of the head...I would say ear...

 

I was going to say the samething much rather have him get the ear.

 

EXACT same thing I was thinking...lol hate to pay for an ear crop and then see it get chewed away during a hog hunt.

what are yal thinking....of course you want his head to get chewed on....lmmfao

 

A major thing to think about when cropping the ears is what if the dog doesn't work out? Man, that's just more money down the drain....

But, hey it's just a preference.

 

OK.....I have to agree with you on that.
