Ear Cropping

I'm thinking there is a timeframe for this.  If so, what is it?  Sadie's been having alot of problems with her ears, and I've read alot of the pros and cons, but I wondering if it's still an option since she'll be 1 this month.  Her darn ears are huge (aka Dumbo).  Personally, I don't think her big ears are helping with the yeast problems we're having.  The first thing the vet suggested minus the medicine was to flip her ears back to allow some airflow.

Yeah - the reason for doing it between 8-12 wks. is b/c this is the time as to when the ear "leather" is pliable enough to be able to be "molded" ... if you do it later than 12 wks. you risk not having the ears ever stand since the cartilage has already stiffened.

(I think ;)))
