And I would like to clip his ears and his tail but wouldn't want to inflict such pain to an animal, even though it could potentially help his health.

I dont understand what the corallation is between health benefits and ear cropping and tail cropping. The only thing that I know of personally is a benefit when it comes to cropping ears is because they are going to be fighting dogs and ears have lots of nerves and bleed alot while being ripped off.

Dog fights are easy to avoid, and as a dog owner it's our absolute responsibility to do everything we can to prevent it. As a pit bull owner, this is likely going to mean no off leash with other dogs once your boy matures.. dog parks are a no-no, etc. No matter how friendly our dogs are, it's just not worth it to have some dog punk him out and have Bruno's genetics kick in and do real damage to the other dog. Just avoid the set up entirely and you'll both be happier!
Tail docking has never been a part of pit bull history. Some street fighters have docked tails, but that's really it. The UKC/ADBA standards state they can NOT be docked.
Cropping ears is a personal choice. I have cropped dogs, and I've never had a problem with ear infections etc. I love natural ears, but they can present problems as far as ear tears and infections. If I were you I'd probably leave Bruno natural eared, as he's a pet dog and not going in to the show ring.
