Wonder how many of those who are so upset over ear cropping would get their son circumcised?

I chose not to crop the ears of my Great Dane and am glad that I didn’t because his ear movements add to comical expressions he makes.

I have got so much hate from people for cropping my dogs ears, but my dog is a protection dog and boar hunting dog. I needed cropped ears so the dog looked more intimidating (for protection) and so hogs couldn't bite their ears and rip them up. Nice video thank you for educating people.

The thing that pisses me off is that people think they have the right to tell you what to do with YOUR dog.

Thank you for a great video that was very matter of fact and not opinionated. I am a long term veterinary technician and very experienced w cropping and everything that comes w it including the negative perceptions most dog owners have of this procedure. It's not at all what people think if done ethical. It has the potential of being extremely unethical and unfair to the dog but if done correct it's actually more stressful for the puppy to be away from mother for the few hours then the surgery itself. We need more videos to get the public educated. Outlawing the procedure is the worst idea. It forces it underground and out of the professionals hands. Thanks again..... DAS-Crops (riverside ca.)

They are beautiful either way but I personally like them cropped.

Thanks for a good balanced explication on cropping. I am in NZ where it is illegal (along with docking and removing dewclaws). I prefer un cropped but I can see how people would want a dog with cropped ears.

Very good looking dogs and pups! I checked out your website the other day.. Love the way you hooked up your site! Gave me a better understanding of all the dogs in your program. 😊

Thank you for this transparent and honest review of the practice. The boys look amazing ! Cannot wait to pick them up!!!!

Thank you for this very informative and open-ended video! Very refreshing to see.

Very informative and well put together video and also showing how well the pups are doing after cropped ears. Love your videos, they are always great.

Just had our giant Schnauzer ears done. Really had a hard time even finding a good vet to do it. Finally found one who used a laser procedure. She had pain med sent home with her, but she never acted like she was in pain. She came right home and started playing. Love the look! Surprised at how some people felt like they needed to lecture me about it,especially when I didn’t ask their opinion. Thank you for a very well done video

Thanks for sharing info. Have been researching this breed for a couple years and have not seen anyone show the love you put into your kennel.

Excellent video. Thank you. I have a Cane Corso and many "side eyed" me for having my boy's ears cropped... needless to say I could care less what anyone thinks, and having this information as an owner is good to have.

I’m new to your site and I am in love!! I will definitely be reaching out for a puppy. This ear cropping video was very informative! You answered every question I had regarding the procedure.

As always Ms. Erica you have brightened my morning. This treasure trove of information is beyond valuable. It is "Titanlicious" and tasty to the Corsco Palate". May the Kings and Queens of the Titan Homestead continue to be Eternally Blessed💯💯💯🙏💖

Very well said ! You’re very well spoken and now I can listen to you clear

You both are the best in every way, continue doing and growing, God bless you all 😇👍🙏💯% GENUINE 😇👍

They look more intimidating with their ears cropped. This is why many are cropped today.

What a great video, I just started following you and love everything about you and your brand. I’m catching up on your videos now and I see myself being a XII Titan mom in the distance future. You and your family is such a great inspiration, keep up the great work.

ive had 4 boxers and have had all their ears cropped, it doesn't traumatize them anymore than when I got circumcised......

I'm learning a lot from your videos, and appreciate the information. Im expecting a Cane Corso in August. Wish I knew of X11Titans b4. Very professional.

Very well explained! Love your program!

Youre so knowledgeable about this. In every video it sounds like a mini documentary. Cane Corso's are my favorite breed, and I hope one day I can add one to my family.

FANTASTIC video! I don't think anyone could argue with a thing you said. ALL FACTS and well-balanced explanation

I now have gotten the phone information on why dog ears are cropped. You gave me a good exclamation on why I should have my dog ear done that way. Not only for health reason but for Style to.

I love your balanced, fair, honest explanation of the controversy. One more argument against cropping could be that if people perceive cane corsos (corsi?) As aggressive they might be added to various banned dog lists.. anyway, now do a video on tail docking!

Love your post!!!!....hope to purchase one soon!

Thanks for the thorough explanation.👌🏾

Great info. Thank you for sharing.

I personally prefer natural ears and tail. Maybe it makes sense for a working dog to have the procedures done, but I think full, floppy ears on a companion Cane Corso are so pretty and I'm sure care can be taken to help prevent ear infections.

Excellent video so glad someone finally put this out. I prefervther Crop n my Presa is also cropped. Hope all your puppies are doing well as well as you n your husband. Have a Very Merry Christmas. Hope to get one of your males in the future.

By far the VERY best explanation of ear cropping’s historical origins. And thank you for your honesty regarding your stance. Much respect and kudos for that.

Your so beautiful and I adore your perspective and respect you and your family. i love how you take care of your pups\dogs. You are a positive influence to any breeder. kudos to all that ypu do. God bless & wishing you all the success !

I'm not a fan of ear cropping, but I did enjoy this video and learned something! Your dogs are beautiful!!

You handled the situation with superb intelligence. You Command Asha and she yielded putting the Landscaper feel more a5 ease. And calming Asha fierce. Great work,

Very well explained

Thanks soo much for sharing

Very informative! Thanks

Very informative. Thanks.

I love them either way. My favorite look is cropped. The reason is just like you said in the video. People will be very cautious walking up to you with them cropped than with them not. Beautiful dogs either way!!!😍

This Like all of your videos are extremely informative. My family is Welcoming our first Corso Later this month and we planned to get her ears cropped. I love the look of how your vet crops your pups ears, and was wondering if you are able to share their information.

Whomever does your ear cropping and tail docking does a great job. I see some corsos whose tails are way too short. Yours are perfect. And yall dont seem to have any issues with the ears either. Great job!!!

Thank you for this video. I'm currently a single mom myself and will be getting (hopefully 🤞🏼) 2 boy Corsos from you😁 this summer. Like you I prefer the cropped aesthetic.

Awesome thank you.

🐕you know, I go with floppy ears; you and your daughter remind me of my daughter and I got a big dog for protection, listen don't even think about it, I truly enjoy the videos. 🙏❤

You are wonderfully informative beautiful information wonderful outlook. When people hate on breeding dogs I think of wonderful breeders like yourself. Now where the rescue I want one but I only get rescues. Personal choice. I have had 2 rescued rottweiler back to back. Best friends I've ever had.

Ear infections in humid environments for very hairy or dropping ears is REAL!

I've had Dobermans with cropped ears, huskies with erect ears and a Shepherd mix who also had erect ears. I kept the ears relatively clean, checked maybe once a week or so for anything but never had an issue with ear infections. I adopted a wonderful one year old pitbull in 2009 (he sadly passed in October), my first adopted dog, who had lop ears and despite keeping to my usual weekly ear cleaning schedule, he had two fairly significant ear infections in his life, meaning it required medical attention and it was disgusting watching the vet scoop black gunk from the depths of his ear canal. From personal experience I can say that perhaps erect ears are, indeed, better. However, if we constantly use that argument people will ultimately ask why we don't crop Labradors, etc. I have far more respect for people who just come right out and say it, I like the cropped look better, because at the end of the day it IS a cosmetic procedure.

Great video, with an excellent explanation. Now if I can only get my CCs ear to stand that would be great. After several ear postings, no luck yet, any advice?

Great video .very informative.cropping when done right does make them look awesome.my Cane Betsy whom I adopted had a terrible job done on her tail and ears.cropping and docking are now illegal in ireland were I live.

Ear infections are reduced by A LOT in Great Danes when ears are cropped. So the medical reason is legit.

They are just gorgeous, cropped or not! Here in France cropping and docking prohibit dogs from confirmation and dog shows.

Great video!!!

Fantastic video you explain that really well I got my first pair of Rottweilers for the exact same reason you got your dogs obviously cropping is not part of the breed standard for a Rottweiler but I have had American bullies with cropped ears I love the look personally if it doesn't hurt the dog what's the big deal is kind of what I be thinking. Your dogs are absolutely beautiful if anybody mentions Cane Corso to me I will be sure to tell them to check you out .

Feels so good to see a video of somebody pronouncing the Cane Corso name right .

Just a note to say thanks a video worth the watch

Sis I love the channel and really dig how y'all care for and love the heck outta your animals. Got me seriously considering a Cane or Rottie when these current shelter mutts check in to dog heaven, and they're pretty young so it ain't gon be soon. The wife would cuss me for bringing a 3rd dog into the house...but I'm thinking about it! I would just tell her it's your fault. 🤣 God bless you and your family.

First and foremost I will say I like your video because it was not judgmental one way or the other. Also, I got a good laugh from the fact you said I will show you the update post op meaning that you were unaffected by the comments against it and the judgments against it so good for you. So many people seem to be so afraid about being judged if the dog has cropped ears on a dog tail. I also like that you set the tone that respect for whatever the owner's decision is, which is most important, and that anything else in the comments area was unacceptable. At the end of the day when people spend thousands of dollars on a dog it is their prerogative to crop the ears or doc the tail according to breed standards or to choose not to.

What's not being pointed out is that there's no wild canine or cat with floppy ears! I point that out because when these dogs were being bred the ears started to get floppy. So man created the floppy ears in domestic dogs! Evidently there's a reason why our creator made these animals with erect ears!

Hello new sub here! You have beautiful dogs!!

I regret not cropping my dogs ear she now has ear infections often 😔😔

Very good video, I have a Amstaff pup and I just cropped his ears, catching a lot of grief from everyone but I think he looks good😊

To be honest, some might not agree but to me it's like telling a child "I'm going to cut your fingers off some you won't shock yourself"

I like the way it looks

The dr you use is a good surgeon. When I get a pup from you in the future I’d liked to use you vet

Beautiful dogs!!!

I had a Weimaraner for 12 years with the biggest floppiest ears.. never had one issue with ear infections, also 4 dobermans- 3 of which were cropped and one natural/uncut... all dobermans were already cropped and docked from breeder... either way love all my furr babies ears or not! 😍🥰😘

I have a Cane Corso as a pet and he's a floppy eared boy, only thing I've read is the flaps help prevent dust from blowing in (leading too irritation / infection). Im about as against ear cropping as I am circumcision so it's whatever lol

I believe you had spoke on this topic in a previous video but I applaud you for giving the history and reasoning. At the end of the day its a personal choice and you leave the option up to the owner which is more than some breeders do. Hopefully people can understand that and just agree to disagree.

Excellent video 😎😎😎

I don't mind either way cropped or uncropped, docked or undocked. I feel like i should but i don't mind 😭

Idk why people have such a big problem with ear cropping. It doesn’t really hurt them it’s not like someone just grabs a scissors and snips

Thanks for this , this was a well needed video after seeing this video & your pack plus how healthy they all look....if you still have a problem with cropping ears. You neeed a life 👌🏽

Your Voice over Videos are 😎 cool

The look better with the ears cropped. Great information.

Well we live in times when it is no longer necessary. another breeder said it was for hygiene reasons. I say it is purely optical and totally unnecessary. Thankfully I live in a country where ear and tail cropping are banned. Even if it is done under anesthetic it is still painful for the pups after. Try cutting your ear to see how it hurts. dogs just don't show pain like a human does. Thanks for the well informed video though.

I love their ears cropped makes them look attractive

The same people who are mad about ear cropping are the same ones who promote getting your dog fixed. So it's OK to mutilate a dogs genitals but it's wrong to crop their ears? Mind our own business people.

We had boxers. Always cropped their ears. #1 when you use a dig to patrol, it enables them to hear better. #2 They are territorial and all fight if a strange dog comes into their territory. It enables them to pin their ears back so they don't get chewed off. #3 A boxer has a short snout, restricted breathing. They get overheated easily when exercising and playing. The cropped ears enable them to cool off easier. #4 Floppy ears trap moisture and heat and cause build up of wax and ear infections. Also it is a good breeding ground for mites and ticks, because the ears are covered and may go unnoticed. I can't speak for other breeds. This is the advice coming from our vet, and I know this will be hard the believe, but he. Is a staunch PETA supporter. These are my reasons for cropping. Yes, it looks better for boxers to be cropped, but their health always came first with me.

They look good uncropped or cropped

I'm personally for ear cropping but it's a personal choice. But to me it is necessary to dock the tails. I've seen too many dogs live in pain from constant tail sprains and it's just not fair to the dogs.

This has nothing to do with this video but your dogs look beautiful. One day I’ll get over the loss of my dog and get another one but not anytime soon.

Nice video, liked ur calm discussion. I am with ear cropping as per each one’s need. I personally dont like floppy ears. However, i’ve always asked my self a question: why we don’t see rottweilers or labradors having cropped ears?? Any idea??

I would do whatever is best for my dog. LOL. If floppy ears caused my pup to have ear infections on repeat? I would crop their ears in a heartbeat. Humans, unfortunately, are quick to judge. Very informative video!!

👍Beautiful dogs.💞

I don’t like it either but the dogs don’t get infections like they would if they had long ears. Our mastiff suffered badly from the ear infections. Our corsos never get them.

I just got a Cane corso 3 days ago he is 10 months and his ears and tail not done but I still love my dog and I would have love for them to be done I just love my dog for the dog that he is.

There are three reasons why we can't crop a dogs ears here in Australia. 1. People feel that it is unfair towards the dog as they can't "pull out of a surgery" unlike humans 2. People believe that the procedure permanently damages them mentally 3. People think that dogs that have cropped ears when they are 9 - 12 weeks have their behaviour changed as this is a important time for dogs to socialise Although I do agree that 9-12 weeks is an important time for pups to socialise, but if you slowly introduce them to calmer dogs and they don't jump all over each other, I believe this is fine. In the end it all comes down to the owner. The owner has to clean the ears, in some cases renew the bandages. As long as the owner doesn't make this a painful experience and is sensible about introducing their pups to other dogs during this time, all should be well. Eventually the pup will forget about this just like they do with their mother. This is just my opinion yours may be completely opposite. But you have to understand where my personal point of view is and respect it as i will yours. :)

We adopted an uncropped miniature Schnauzer and she was constantly getting ear infections. Even when we got her regularly groomed (groomer cleaned her ears each time) she would still get them. Granted, she had skin problems where she was allergic to the yeast that naturally lives on skin so who knows if her ears would have been any better had she been cropped as a puppy.

They never look for trouble or care less about what othere people but don't come uninvited.

My Presa ears are cropped,but i"m not sure if I want my corso puppy's ears cropped,because those flaps keep bugs and other things out of their ears.

Thanks for sharing. I for one love the cropped ear look. The pups are more expressive looking. You have beautiful litters

Beautiful dogs

Beautiful.

Good Day Erika, Can you provide a great Vet in the Southeast area of Atlanta? Cairo is bout 5 weeks old and coming home on the 12th of Sept Thanks

You cropped the tales as well and if so how many weeks or months old were they?

Hello from Sicily (Italy) i have a beutiful male cane corso of 6 months, 32kg and don't have his ears cropped. In italy it's illegal and then i like him that way. Your dogs are great, yuo's shuod see mine...bye from sicily

I used to think it was wrong to crop dog's ears and tails until I got my pitbull. When her tail wags it hurts when it hits you and I can't have her around small children because her tail is like a whip. She loves everybody and is very good with the kids that she has been around but I'm more afraid she'll tail whip someone than bite someone. I'm confident that she wont bite. Also she'll be 9 years old in April and she's probably had ear infections more than not in her life and every time she shakes her head all the blood rushes to the tips of her ears. I can only imagine how painful that is. There was one time she was outside in a dog run and I stepped in the house for a moment. When I came back outside she was so happy to see me and she was wagging her tail really hard. As anyone else would love that I just wanted her to stop wagging her tail because blood was spattering everywhere because she was wagging her tail against the fence making blood go everywhere. She was maybe a year or 2 old then and she still has a massive scar on the tip of her tail being almost 9 years old. I love my baby so so much but if I were to ever get another dog with short hair you better believe it'll have it's ears and tail cropped. I don't ever want to have to watch another dog go through that again.

I love these dogs I’m just hoping one day my fiancé will let me get one she’s so into little dogs that I’m not
