If you must have it done, do your research now and find a vet that has experience and you completely trust. Weigh the pros and cons of pysically mutilating your defensless puppy. Once you get it done there's no going back. You are going to put your puppy through a POINTLESS surgery, surgery that won't benefit the pup in ANY way. A surgery that will lead to a painful recovery, who would EVER want to put their pup through it if they don't have to?? It boggles my mind. The surgery is costly, is it not? I've read that it's usually $80-$200, this could EASILY be spent in ways that BENEFIT your puppy! I understand that cropping her ears is totally your choice, and I respect that. I honestly don't think it'll make her look mean at all, and I really like the way she looks now.

And just like wolfsoul said...If you wanted a dog with pointy ears...you should've bought a dog with pointy ears in the first place
