Expert Answer

Cropping a Dogo Argentino’s ears can reduce the chance of bacteria growing in the ear canal and avoid triggering ear disease. The breed has large, drooping ears, which blocks ear-canal airflow and easily breeds bacteria, causing disease. So cropping helps the dog both for health and for looks.

However, cropping a Dogo Argentino’s ears is not mandatory; you can choose not to crop.
