against, I both dislike the proceeder and I hate the look of cropped ears. I know with Pyrsheps they are supposed to be both cropped and docked, neither of which are needed for herding sheep, and both are used soley to hide faults lol for example with most cropped breeds it makes flop ears stand up, but with pyr sheps, well their ears naturally stand up.. but for the show ring they are supposed to be tipped, cropping in this case is quite litterlly chopping off the top of the ear to make it APPEAR tipped. there is absolutly no exuse for this, if they are so obbessed with tipped ears then do what every other breed does and glue em. the docking is also to hide a fault.. they are not supposed to have a gay tail, so in this breed if a pup ends up with a gay tail they chop it off. these in my opnion are completly inexusuable.
