There are essentially two grounds for ear-cropping in dogs. The first and most widespread is cosmetic in certain breeds of dogs where these dogs are typically shown at exhibitions or competitions and where the cropped ear remains in the breed standard; the second is sanitary in working breeds where the dogs ears are otherwise vulnerable to serious injury. In the latter not only is the working dog saved significant pain and discomfort in the field, there is not need to continually administer potent antibiotics to counter infections. Outlawing clinical practice has forced the surgery 'underground' in many countries.
The most common reason was originally for fighting. Dogs with cropped ears couldn't be hurt or stopped by their opponent if they tried to grab their ears. Breeds that used to (and still are, sadly) be used for fighting, such as AmStaffs and APBT's are cropped for this reason. Doberman Pinschers for example were cropped because they were originally a guard dog. The ears and tail are places of weakness, that someone trying to harm their owner could hurt them with. Another reason was for health - cropped ears need less cleaning.

You should never attempt to clip your Pit Bulls ears yourself. It must be done by a trained Veterinarian, under anesthesia and with antibiotics to ward off infection. Doing this at home can result in trauma, infection and even death.

People who breed pit bulls HAVE NO education, it's cruel and sickening
Yes, I, what ever other people may say, love pit bulls! THEY ROCK
MOST PIT BULLS AREN'T KILLERS. Fact; more people die from getting hit on the head from a COCONUT than from being ATTACKED by a pit bull. Please drop this reputation and understand that not all pit bulls are raging killers. The reason people use pit bulls to kill or to be used in dog fight is because of their extremely high pain tolerance, their athletic build, and if they are full pit, they are most likely to have a high prey drive. Also, the reason people (gang members) crop their ears and tails is because in dog fights, it is likely for the other dog to miss their ears and tails because they are so short.
