A lot of people are against cropping, and it is banned in the UK. I don't know that there are really any pros, it's a matter of personal preference. My pups ears are done, they were done when he was approx. 9 weeks old. The aftercare is not much fun, many vet visits, an ecollar, stitch removal, then posting. Taping and retaping to keep the ear tall and stretched so it heals correctly and the cartilage hardens to make the ear stand. Sometimes, though I doubt very often the ear will droop even after all the taping to make it stand. My personal preference is a cropped ear, however you will find most disagree. I honestly like a boxer no matter what it's ears look like:D It's hard to find a vet who will crop and you want to definitely make sure they know what they are doing, ask to see pictures of ears they've cropped or contact a local boxer club to talk to breeders to see if there are any good vets near you who do it. They can make the ear too short and butchy looking if they don't know what they are doing. Good luck if you should decide to go with a cropped pup
