Yes, it's pretty commonly done to some breeds of dogs with naturally floppy ears. They should look like the big guy's ears in this picture:

You learn something everyday. My knee-jerk reaction : such a shame to mutilate pets so they look like what we want..

Your knee-jerk reaction is correct!

They do, it's unfortunate. We had an English springer spaniel growing up, and went to get him as a puppy. They had already docked his tail and didn't want to give him to us before doing his ears, and we were just like "oh no no, let us pay for that", they agreed, and then we never spoke to them again and his ears remained lovely and floppy.

He did have to wag his entire butt though because of the tail, unfortunately.

For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.
