Lotsa ear comments. While cosmetic decisions are more common fights or accidents happen. It's done, hope the pup has more luck.

Do you know how expensive a tri-color is! Buuuut I want one!

On a cat, I'd call that muted calico. Very pretty.

Yet again no ones cares that they took my dick skin
mizadventures
He's cute but I wish people wouldn't keep breeding these dogs.
LanaDelReyy
Why
Why? Look at the dog's ears - somebody thought it made the dog look tough. Puppies could end up falling into the hands of the wrong people
Gotcha.
kittyfloof
Sadly the owner didn't love all of mommy dog, and decided to cut away parts, makes me so sad...

Or they rescued an already cropped dog. We don't have enough info to come to a conclusion.

That dogs head is bigger than my pelvis!

Sad that you snip your dog ear. Ass

I don't like trimmed ears.

I thought trimming ears was illegal in most places.

It is.

Papa dog is thinking about going out for a pack of smokes.

Anthropomorphize much?
All the time.

That’s a great pic!

Why do I always see pits with their dads, but every other breed with their mamas?
Good question
Raresm91
I hate these kind of pictures. One dog, one pup..where are the at least 8 pups da fuk at? Kindergarden??
leclfish
I need to know what this beautiful breed of dog is. Can anyone tell me?
terrifyinglyhilarious
Looks like an American staffordshire... and a beautifully well-bred one at that
chicmagnetwampa1
It's a tricolor AmStaff. Pretty rare coat coloring and super expensive
txtmylife
Staffordshire Terrier. Easily confused with the Am Bully cuz it's been crossed with the Eng Bulldog to get the Bully.
TheCarolingian
Starting the process of elimination...its not a Chihuahua
Shingus
It's a worchestshire saskatoon, everyone knows that!
spicyboiawardwinner
looks like a staffordshire terrier or even a cane corso but those are mostly black i think
mountdoom
Friend of mine has a tan cane corso, though I’m not sure if he’s 100% cane corso. Either way they definitely have the head shape!
TheRealFBI
I have a cane corso, they tend to have leaner builds. I'd put money in Staffordshire. Regardless beautiful dogs.
I saw a cane corso in person for the first time during my visit in Taiwan last week, gorgeous breed, would love to have one

I'm watching him right now in War Dogs. Pretty good movie.

Put your phone down and watch the dam movie.
motherofwaggins
Hopefully they’ll let him keep his ears
BrierFeliks
While I agree if you've ever seen an ear hematoma, it would explain why some dogs are better off with their ears cropped
wipethatfaceoffyourheadbitch
Jesus fuck, can we all just agree to stop having the same discussions on this subject on here? I think we’ve about covered it by now.
Angelova33
They probably won’t. Got to have that fightin’ dog look. :(
ItJustD0esntMatter
If it was going to be done, wouldn’t it be? I thought they would do it younger than this.
Not necessarily. It’s generally easier to do when they are younger, but some people wait until they’re a few months old.
ChrisHemsworthsBulge
Let's hope the ear crop of the father was from a different owner who mistreated him.
We didn't and aren't going to crop our billy's ears but I was having a hard time understanding why people do. Found the answer here. Thx :)
Geez, Exactly
RolandTheLastGunSlinger
Yeah well I didn’t have a say in whether or not I got to keep my foreskin so boohoo
ExplodingRobotColon
Yay being from England. The fact that 90% of American men are circumcised is pretty rediculous

Ridickulous.

That's also wrong, man
Lipwigzer
My parents have two littermates. one has his ears cropped and 0 ear infections. The other didn't and has had 4 ear infections.
Wow, I cought some hate for that comment. Tbh lean against cropping ears. Just mentoned it because I thought it's an interesting data point.
CNNBRFIINF
Just clean them regularly and no need to crop.
YourFriendWill
Hey bud, let's cut off yer ears or children's if they get an infection, sound good? Fool...
TheSpeakerOfTheHouse
What if they have to choose between getting their ears ripped off by wild cats while defending their families and having them cropped?
Ihavewaytoomanyfavoritestosort
When the hell is that gonna happen? You act like they're as common as rats.
It's more that you can't just come along and impose your yanqui values on a people who bred these dogs for hunting and defence.
The ear cropping is just for show. It serves no actual purpose and in fact hinders their ability to communicate with other dogs.
I have a pit with his full ears. And literally everyone who sees him says he has more personality than any other Pitt they have ever seen.
Unfortunately, that’s not likely. Cropped ears is breed standard, so many owners choose to crop for aesthetic purposes. However, cropping /1

Seems like its mostly a thing in america, here ive never seen a pitbull with cropped ears. But its probably been illegal here a while.
WontSomeonePleaseThinkOfTheChildren
Fuck "breed standard."
Can occur due to medical reasons, or their “job”, and is healthier for some dogs. I would not choose to crop personally, but I understand /2
blackfox1122
I get cropping for medical reasons, though i don't agree. But the crop job in the picture looks like a scissor job. Gross and painful.
Melbear
It’s healthier to crop tails in some breeds because they’re brittle and break easily. Ear cropping is always cosmetic.
Yes, tail docking can often be for legitimate medical reasoning. The only time I agree with it is for those cases specifically, honestly.
captainawesome9000
Not always. My mother in law has a Great Dane. Gets ear infections monthly because it’s ears aren’t cropped.
My cousin always opts to clean his Dane’s ears every other day rather than crop and no infections yet (6 years old)
The reasoning for it. Breed standard greatly determines what many owners do. /3
stupidstray
Why the heck does the average owner need to worry about breed standards?
Monkey see, monkey do type of thing. People see other owners do something, think it looks cool, then they do it. I don’t agree with it.
YurgenGrimwood
Could you explain how it's healthier in some cases? Like is it with disease or genetic flaw or something?
Some people think it lowers the chance of ear infections but it's never been proven- in fact it allows debris into the ear.
In working dogs specifically, more commonly hunting dogs, it prevents injuries to the ear that can rip or sever the ear. In all other /1
