Surgery of The Ear

Did somebody have any material related to ear cropping shapes and length according to the breeds?
Thanks
 
Regardless of the trimming standard, all ears cannot be trimmed alike. Variations are justified in any breed, and shape and length of the ear vary with the sex and conformation of the individual dog.

It is unethical to trim dog's ears for non medical reasons! (moderator: you can delete this message if you want but you can't make the problem go away)
 
Yes, your statement is absolutely true. I would not recommend this procedure to any veterinarian.
Cosmetic otoplasty is no longer considered ethical and is illegal in some areas. There are no medical reasons for these procedures.
