What is the ideal age to crop boxer ears?

In: Dog Health, Dog Care [Edit categories]

Answer:

Ear mutilation is usually done around 9 to 11 weeks of age. Any later and the ears may not want to stand. You are trying to find that time when the puppy is old enough to handle the butchery and anesthesia well, but young enough that the cartilage is not set in their ears yet.
