Question When is the best time to get you puppies ears chopped?
Answer Hi Leslie,
You want to aim to have them done between 8 and 12 weeks. I have had better luck doing them on the younger end, not only because it gives the ears that much more time to heal properly but also because your pup is alot less active at 8 weeks then 12! The ears need all the "quiet" time they can get to heal! If you Google House of Hoytt it should take you to a Dobie site, their ear brace works very well!
Good luck w/ your pup!
