In my city we have a lot of people that just keep breading pits. My dog cat is my family. I found a free clinic to spay her. They explained how the cropping of ears and tails go and advised me not to do it. Shes beautiful until she tries to kiss me do a twist and knock me in the face with her tail. Crazyyy girl. Baby in a horse body lol

I understand that but my vet for 20 yrs advised me not to crop ears or tail. She is beautiful natural. I just had her spayed at a clinic. She was born on a baddd neighborhood probably outside no true love. And i accepted the free spay.

Your vet probably advised this bc your pup was outside recommended cropping age, not to mention docking age which is typically done at around 3 days old.
There are a lot of vets that are just against cropping, it seems. Maybe more in Canada than the US. It actually just got banned in my province about a month ago.
Yes, I am too. Personally, I think it is ridiculous to ban ear cropping but try and shove spay/neuter on every single dog owner alive. Removing functioning organs seems a tad more harmful than removing a bit of skin and cartilage, but that's an argument for another time/place...
There is more to it than removing skin and cartilage. The ears on the dog perform a specific function. Or many actually which include: helping your dog with sense of directional hearing. Chop your ears off and see how well you can tell where sounds are coming from. Notice how the dogs ears move around when he hears a faint or high pitched sound? He's using the ears to pinpoint specific sound. Cropping the dogs ears reduces his ability to do that. You are handicapping your dog when you crop his ears.Yes, I am too.

His ears protect his inner ear parts from dirt, water, bugs, wind, and yes cold.
Most veterinarians won't do this anymore because of the reasons listed above. People, stop handicapping your dogs hearing.
The ears are the way they are for a purpose.
I spay 90% of females.i depend on my chain setups to keep males from unwanted breed ings.i put alot of effort to keep dogs where i want them.successful for a long time.I don't have a problem with either but you can avoid pregnancies by keeping dogs separated. It is just owners choose to castrate their dog to make their life easier as it is what they want.
It's really a freaking epidemic, it is terrifying. In my city, the shelter dogs are almost all pits. I see so many totally unfit people with them in the yards, it's tragic. My pup always wants to be with us, has to touch us, lay next to us, interact. I can't even fathom putting him in the yard for the entire day! He plays in the yard for about 5 min, then scratches on the screen door to get back in and plop on the couch next to me. We have some idiots across with 2 pitbulls who constantly get out and are pretty aggressive. I confronted them about it when their pit female attacked my Loki and then ran inside our house! My SO put our leash on her and took her back. I was NOT happy. The "owner" apologized and said he didn't have a chance to train his dogs (wtf??) The dog just had pups and I saw the guy carrying a puppy the other day. I wish I could report them somewhere, it is absolutely infuriating. This is why I believe in s/n, cause 80% of these people where I live are irresponsible assholes. Oh, they have 3 untrained pits, one pup, and a baby in their house. Great choices...In my city we have a lot of people that just keep breading pits. My dog cat is my family. I found a free clinic to spay her.
