That...well... I'd rather not crop a dog's ears. I mean its not much different from docking their tails, but its done at a later age. When most dock a dog's tail, its usually done before they are even old enough to be sold. Cropping ears isn't a subject I've ever really thought about, honestly. Though I must confess, Dobermans look quite lovely with their ears cropped and their tails docked... I suppose its only me associating Dobermans to the Mafia....
I doubt if I make much sense right now...
......I can't make up my mind.......

EDIT// I've made up my mind!!! I would not dock a dog's tail or crop a dog's ears just for the heck of it. The one and only reason I would do such is if they were to be shown. And I know for a fact that I don't plan on showing dogs.
