I wouldn't be against adopting a dog with ears that were already cropped... and, I guess if it's required for showing or whatever, I can see why some people still do it. But, it would be cool if it wasn't considered a fault. Hmmm...and, I can see how if someone had a guard dog, just because it does make the dog look scarier. Eh, I wouldn't do it, though...I actually would like to get a doberman in the future, and, I would keep everything natural. Same if I got a great dane...I chose against...even though I'm not 100% always grossed out or offended by it...I'm not really undecided, though.
