The Trainer just cuts off a little at a time, and watches to see how mean the Dog gets. Some use a Cleaver, others use Pruning Shears, but the most handy (I hear) is a large Bread Knife. Just get a block of wood, and whack a little piece off at a time till it's just right.  |
I totally get that you're 'taking the piss' here...however in pits specifically ears are only cropped to aid in fighting reducing ear injuries-there is little nedical research showing a need for ear cropping.
Tail docking of pits is done as with any docked breed to prevent injury of any cause...however your joke about how its done isn't far off from the sad reality manu times in manu breeds ears are cropped with household scissors, tails are docked by means of any sharp object that can get it done, sometines tyes are used si the tail just dies and falls off. Dew claws are often just yanked out with pliers from a tool kit.
This is exactly why I feel ONLY a licensed vet should perform dew claw removal ear cropping abd tail docking.
