You do not crop Westie ears..You only trim the hair all from them if they are not standing, and that will help them to stand..You do it your self with scissors or have a groomer trim all hair from ears..You will NEVER find a vet to crop Westies ears! seriously..They will either stand on their own, or they will not..they will not be cropped by any vet in USA or Canada.
Please read the site I sent you when you asked the first time..

You need to define what YOU mean by CLIP!?
If you mean crop or cut the ear itself...Westies do not get cropped ears!
If you mean clipped with a clipper..shaved, or scissored..then you can do that when they are puppies. Have a groomer do it. When I groom a Westie, I shave (using clippers) the tip of the ears, then I scissor them up to neaten them.
You keep asking this question, but you need to be more specific as to what you mean by clip.

Westies ears naturally stand up. They are not like other breeds that have their ears clipped to stand up.

Your dog should have had its ears cropped between 7 -11 weeks...much earlier. It is too late to do it now because the dog's cartilage has already formed in the ears. Cropped ears are typically only done on a show quality dog (and even now, the AKC is starting to recognized uncropped). Unless you're planning on showing your boxer or breeding him to produce more show quality boxers (which I assume he's not breeding quality or you'd be showing him and would have a plethora of knowledge on the breed, the health testing involved, and the process of producing a boxer to preserve the lineage of the breed) there is really no reason to crop. It's purely cosmetic. My boxer has floppy ears and she's so adorable!

Westies do not have to have their ears "cropped" They ard dogs whose ears stand up on their own

Two days old, if you are going to do it but it is unbelievably painful for the puppy. Why would you do it anyways? Westies do not get their ears clipped.
