I really don't think they did a good job(and I'm pro-cropping). They look too short to me, the person that did it didn't do a good job on it. Sorry. When my doberman's ears were cropped our vet did a lousy job on it too(this was when I was 11 mind you) and now one flops while the other one stands sometimes. I'm pro when people know what their doing and do it right. Good luck on the taping though! Sometimes the tape can cause an infection, so be careful with that.
