    My opinion is that cropping a dogs ears just inflicts pain on the dog for no reason other than to be cosmetically pleasing to the owner. Although I do agree if it is done due for safety because of the dog's "job", it may be the right thing to do. However, that said, doguero didn't ask us for our opinion or our beliefs about ear cropping. He just wants to know where he can have it done. To answer that question: I haven't a clue, but I hope that you do find a reputable place to have this done. Please do not resort to doing this yourself because you cannot find a doctor to do it for you. I'm sorry but you asked a question pertaining to a subject that is very controversial and it is hard for many people
    (myself very much incuded) to not voice their opinion on the manner.

    I wish you the very best in finding someone that will crop your dogs ears hopefully with as little pain as possible. I also hope you and your pup spend many wonderful days together.

    Zoo... stick around awhile you will find that many things are called out as abuse not just ear cropping. Most of us call it as we see it whether people like or agree with it or not.

    Hey there... nobody has been much help to you. I just got my dogo puppy yesterday. I had her ears cropped by the breeder in quebec. I live in the neighbouring town portage la praire and I have to find a vet that I like to take out the stitches. So if I find one that does the cropping I'll let you know!

    Ear croping is WRONG! How would you like it if someone cut part of your ear off.
