She's a beautiful dog. Good luck with the ear cropping. It won't make her look mean, but, if you want to crop her ears, just be sure to take good care of them, it's a lot of work! People botch up those cropping jobs all the time, and, it really messes up the dog's appearance. There's absolutely nothing uglier than a dog with a jacked up ear cropping job. I'm personally against it, anyway, as I think it's an outdated practice, but, again, if you're going to do it, just make sure it's done correctly and that you put the time and effort into the maintenance. Good luck.
