5 weeks tail dodkimg and ear cropping

Jolstin

my new puppy is 5 weeks old. her mom was full blood pit bull and her dad was half sharpei and half bull mastiff. i want to hunt with her in the future and tails and ears tend to be problems when hunting. so can i still crop her ears and dock her tail

I'm not sure what age ear cropping is done, but tail docking needs to be done when they are VERY young (a couple days old or so).

Call your vet and ask what age they do it at.

The tail has to be done within the first 2-3 days. I wouldn't suggest doing it now. Is there really a reason that you need to have the ears and tail done? A lot of your hunting dogs have non cropped ears.

The ears are cropped around 11-12 weeks, but the tail is done when they are about 2 days old. Now she'd have to be put under anesthesia to have it removed, it your vet will at all because she's older.
