Just a point of fact. German Shepards' ears aren't cut...They are born floppy (like a lot of naturally erect eared dogs) and as they grow the ear cartilage stiffens and they stand erect.
Dobermans, Great Danes, Boxers, pit bulls, and schnauzers are a few of the dogs that get their ears cut off
boxers, most terriers, poodles, weimeriners, most spanials dobermans and rottweilers are some of the dogs that get their tails cut off.
Some of those breeds get both ears and tails cut off.
Most show dogs also get their dew claws removed and get their nails "show cut"
Show cut nails are a relatively unknown cruelty. To show cut a nail the toenail is cut VERY short...right through the quick. Anyone who has cut their pet's nail too short knows from the reaction that this is very painful. The nails on show cut dogs often become infected because they are walking around with open wounds on all 4 feet.
