I have a natural eared Great Dane and I am very happy we didnt get his ears cropped. I really don't see the point of putting a dog through pain because you like the look of it. Great Danes can be shown with natural ears, why get them sliced off? Bailey has the cutest ears, he wouldn't be the same without them. People can approach Bailey because he doesn't look intimidating. If his ears were cropped, alot of people would be afraid of him.

While it may be personal choice, what would your puppy say if you asked him/her if they wanted their ears "modified"? Dogs can't speak for themselves and I think that's why people take advantage of "canine plastic surgery".
