Summit View Great Dane Ear Taping

Supporting ears to stand after cropping.

[@Imgonnatryfool]

Hey Steve, you should probably make more videos. Seven years later this video is top-tier! And I would love to see her ears now.

[@paulrieker2046]

There's a great need being accomplished here. I had a Great Dane - Mastiff, which had continued yeast infections in it's ears. The cropping was not accomplished for him, before we rescued the dog. This big gentle soul was haunted by constant infection because the ears were not dry, as cropping facilitates air circulation to help kill yeast. Thanks for this instruction, much needed education.

[@ratratte]

I doubt non-cropped ears can cause any complications, look at dogs with flopped (sometimes also HUGE) ears, they all are healthy in general. Cropping is merely for making a dog "fancy" in the majority of cases.

[@kristyw8180]

@@ratratte Floppy eared dogs *do* suffer from more ear related health issues than prick-eared dogs, though. Ever seen a dog with an aural hematoma? It’s horrific. My house looked like a crime scene and the slightest bump would open it back up again- and ears will bleed for HOURS, then they shake. To this day I’m still finding the occasional blood droplet on my ceiling. My floppy eared dogs also get more ear infections than my prick eared and cropped dogs. There’s a reason you don’t see floppy eared canines in nature.

[@ratratte]

@@kristyw8180 Good reason to stop breeding floppy eared ones, then!

[@Foreverblue0705]

@@ratratte let’s not forget floppy ears are not normal. Floppy ears were bred in to dogs to make them look “cuter”. Floppy ears do in fact cause many more issues then uncropped ears.

[@fishsquishguy1833]

@@ratratteWolves ears are natural erect. Floppy ears are a flaw produced by selective breeding. Maybe a desirable flaw, but it’s not how nature intended.

[@DocSeville]

Thank you, I found your video VERY useful. I have Dobermans (and no, they don't just sit there like that pup!) and I was having trouble with the bottom of the stay popping out. Your video helped me fix the problem. Thank you.

[@dscurrier8976]

I have that problem, too. I am posting every day because of it. How did you did the issue?

[@paulrieker2046]

[@sergepoutiline596]

Hi, Steve! Thanks a lot for yr experience! Pls advise, what kind of alcohol you use for cleaning ears before taping?

[@thebassmusic5010]

How long do i leave it on for? And does it actually work? Because i’m trying this on my 12 weeks old puppy

[@johannamoilanen9218]

How long this prosess takes to get ears ready?

[@kristyw8180]

Thanks very much for this Steve! Much clearer and not as rushed as some other videos. My girl is 17 weeks now and my first cropped puppy, and I have NO experienced local help. We keep running into issues with the bottom of the rod popping out of the bell, as well as her ears just being GROSS by the time we take the rods out (max 3 days!). Any suggestions other than Gold Bond?

[@cassowary-love]

Would vet wrap work in place of the paper tape?

[@MsMoJean]

Lovely girl. Lovely crop 🧡🧡🧡

[@luciorivas5682]

How do you know when the ear won’t stand on their own and to stop posting. Had my Dane cropped at 7 weeks as well and now he’s 12 weeks and they do not stand on their own.

[@ratdraws9445]

You're in for a looonnggg process, it can take from 6 months to 1 years or more.

[@trushabhavhad5880]

Nice information

[@Harshrajs407]

How many days removed

[@MagicModena]

How about leaving the poor dog to have natural ears - god forbid

[@ratdraws9445]

It's already cropped nothing you can say now will do anything. Move on.

[@TheFiown]

WHY?

[@TheCBDemon]

Why. Would you cut her ears in the first place?

[@Mrsirwinsalott]

So 12hrs taped then not taped for 5 days?

[@madd_hatter_1975]

No. typically taped for 5-7 days then he says untape for 12 hours. I leave my pup's ears untaped for 24 hours then tape again for 5-7 days.

[@markchivers1245]

I think it looks cool but they’re cuter with there big hangy ears

[@keyth0]

How many times do you need to do this before you stop? Great job by the way, thanks Steve.

[@cultuuedpetri]

Keither this is my question, as well

[@haleyserroels3771]

Ive heard that you stop when the ears stand erect on their own when the dog is alert

[@CAPS_AMERICA]

Hi, did you say remove after 5 days, then after 12 hours re-tape? So for how long should this be done? Thanks

[@Homefree18]

Good question, I’ve been tapping mine for almost 7 months now and they still get droopy. I’m about ready to give up.

[@judecinematix66]

Will this method work on my 11month old amstaff?

[@rajyaguruhardik353]

No it will not work if more than 8 months

[@sonnyabee8]

Do you have to crop your great danes ears in order to tape them up or can you just tape their ears up and they'll still stand

[@kristyw8180]

You have to crop; they won’t stand on their own.

[@leehiggins8116]

My vet has me twisting the ear then taping it twisted. I have searched and searched for anyone else doing this. He says the twist keeps the ear from creasing... but once take down the ear looks twisted...obviously. He has cut another dogs ear for me and there great. But I tape them and did what this video says. Anyone out there with any input.

[@madd_hatter_1975]

I have a 3 month dane puppy that was cropped at 8 weeks. The vet tapes his ears similar to this video. I've never heard about twisting the ears but that doesn't seem right. Good luck to you!
