Aww, look at the baby Rita!! I wanna reach back in time and pick her up and cuddle her! I don't think it would work so well now though! Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen an uncropped presa canario...*Goes off to search for pics*

Ah, just have to post to comment on beautiful Rita - I never knew her ears were cropped! I thought they were natural, I thought I read somewhere that ther breed have "rose" ears? Her puppy pic is adorable, and she is a real beauty all grown up. We haven't had any Face & Rita pics for a while, you know! (taps foot, arms crossed) How 'bout a thread, mom?
I don't think it's necessarily physically possible to crop any breed. Take spaniels and hounds (especially bassets), for instance. Their ears are naturally very large and heavy without the fur. I don't think the cartilage in their ears is enough to hold up a crop anyways. I think the breed has to have button ears or semiprick ears to successfully hold up a crop.

I want to steal her!!
You know my opinion on the whole ear thing because we have talked about it before but she really does look alot better! As I said before maybe you should post photos of the other boxer you posted to show people thats how you wanted the ears.
Im so jealous, I REALLY want a puppy right now!
I don't understand how it's a bad crop? Yes, they look short but that doesn't make them bad. They may even be longer than they appear. She has the cone on blocking the view. There are different styles to cropping. My breed has a working and show crop.
Taping depends on the dog. Some will stand on their own others will need to be taped.
Very cute puppy. Good luck with her!
When I saw those pictures, it made me go OUCH! I could just feel her pain. I definetley don't agree with the idea of cropping her ears... anyway, either way she's a cutie pie!
Also, just because the ears are short doesn't mean it a bad cropping job. I don't see anything wrong with it. Who did the cropping job, though?
It's been a couple weeks how about an up date pics so we can see them healing ?
