Research cropping and taping of ears for Dobermans , Danes and boxers . It ' s a whole process that takes a long time and is only for aesthetics so that the dog looks more alert . You will see puppies with tampons in their ears not kidding and bandages taped together upright so that the ears can ' t lie flat . It ' s a bit obvious when the poor pup is walking around looking like a Martian that the crop wasn ' t for medical reasons but to meet show dog standards . Again , not judging you for medically needed procedures and unless you see the dog with taped ears you don ' t know if the current owner had it done . <| sep |> Look everyone ! It ' s not just us ! <| sep |> What is a friend ? <| sep |> The only strat involved was Ubi making diamond way too easy to get this season .
