i agree with a lot of what Jordan is saying. when i got my great dane's ears cropped i was really glad i did my research on how to do the after care. (i'm not for or against your choice to crop your dogs ears. i would definatly get more weight on her before she goes to surgery) after care has a great deal with hiw the ears turn out. there will be many days of smelly sticky taped ears. it's tough to hold down your pup while pulling the tape off and putting it back on. if the tape is on too tight it could cut off the circulation and the ear can rot and fall off. that is extreamly painful for the puppy.

Good Luck and let us know how it all goes. if you need any help on how to do after care or anything else just ask.
