What's the best age to crop Doberman ears? Is 6 months too old?

Question

Is it ok to crop a 6 month old dobermans ears. Pet's info: Dog | Doberman Pinscher | Male

Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

No, it is not. Ear cropping is a cosmetic procedure, and is extremely painful. The pain is less when the puppy is younger, and you'd be very hard pressed to find a vet who will do this painful cosmetic procedure on Pablo at his age. Many won't do it due to ethical reasons, even when the puppy is less than 12 weeks of age.
