Most responsible breeders, show or otherwise have one goal in mind and that is to continue work toward the betterment of the breed while keeping the breed standard, as was established decades ago, the prime goal.

Responsible purebred canine breeders and their veterinians need to have their legal rights protected and need not to be undermined by CCVS imposing the view of a small group.
Presently, I am fostering a Giant Schnauzer with uncropped ears. His ears are long and heavy with hair. The ear canals are sweaty and often smell. They require CONSTANT plucking. As well, the deep hairs are difficult to remove. The dog came to me with ear infection and has already had previous infections. He is only 11/2 years. This problem will be for the rest of his life. It has been suggested that he be cropped for health reasons. It is doubtful this would be feasible, as his ears likely would not stand. The ears need to stand in order for them to be exposed to the air.
One has no idea how difficult it will be to keep
this dog comfortable

Surgery is performed humanely and safely. We do not have expectations for all vets to perform this surgery but there is no valid reason to remove this surgical option from the personal choice of the individual. It is appalling for the vet community to ignore the fact that a spay or neuter surgery is done for convenience (no proof of HEALTH benefit) and is certainly much more traumatic both surgically and for long term life impact than any ear crop procedure. How can justification for one be without the other. There are injuries to tails - I brought 2 4 month old dobes up from Australia both of which already had tail injuries! Both were docked and cropped and are 2 years old today doing fine.
There are increases in ear infections. Please allow humane safe, sterile surgical procedures for our breeds. Please study the impact that these bans have caused in the other countries that have chosen this route.

I have seen uncropped dogs suffering unnecessarily if their breeder had had their ears cropped as a puppy. Bouviers have very hairy interiors to their ears. The long floppy natural ear keeps the ear canal dark and moist which enables bacteria to grow and cause infections and pain.

This surgery as a veteran is painful and leaves the animal deaf. I was an all breed groomer for 15 years when my children were small. I went back into teaching when they were in high school. I suggested that many of my clients needed medical attention from their family vet due to ear infections. Many owners do not recognize symptoms until the infection in the uncropped ear has proceeded into a major health challenge. I have removed magots, and ticks from many uncropped diseased uncropped ears. Bouviers are famous for being stoic so their owners do not realize their pet has a serious problem in an ear or both until it is too late to save the hearing. Bouviers do not have long sighted vision as do the sporting breeds. They rely on their exceptional hearing in life. I will not sell an uncropped Bouvier. Breeders will go south to have this procedure done or begin doing it themselves. Please do not stop those who perfect this surgery from using their talent to make dogs healthy.

If you haven't you should look it up and see what the pain is. They are simple safe procedures that reduce and keep our dogs health later in life.

Tail docking us not painful but vets were taught only one procedure, a procedure that was painful. Those vets who worked closely with clients were taught alternative procedures. Our vet could dock a litter of puppies while they wee asleep and without waking them up.

Pet dogs merit the same level of care as well managed breeding dogs. Those of us who want everyone to train and manage a dog sensibly are frustrated by them. Docking and cropping would have been abandoned spontaneously by good breeders years ago if the practices were truly inhumane.
