cropped or natural (Revised Poll)

[Boxer_21]

Cubby - I didn't even notice my post had been edited until you said that. Oh well, I guess the word that substituted my word is more appropriate. I'll try to word my messages more carefully. I'm still kind of learning the ropes here.

I like both looks, and since my dogs have natural ears that's how I voted.

I am bi-earred as Cubby stated, therefore I did not enter into the poll. I love both looks!! My first boxer was cropped, Kailee is natural. I am neither one way or the other on the ears, my next boxer, well, I will have to wait until I see him/her then decide which way he/she will look the best. :D

Please vote.....my question is what do you currently have (sorry families with more than one boxer with both cropped and natural - I guess you can't vote multiple times - moderator? can they?)

I don't want to make the poll anything more than that!

I guess I should have worded the sentence out better! Will know for next time.....this is my first poll. :rolleyes:

thanks

I have always perferred natural up until recently when I saw a beautiful male fawn with a show crop. So now I like both. I get my first boxer Friday :D and now I am torn between the two styles. I think both styles look good.

I voted natural because thats what my Nikki's ears are. I am partial to the natural look. Not to say that the cropped ears don't look good, because they do. I would be too afraid of something going wrong with it though. And I really like to play with Nikkis ears. :D

Nope, sorry. I have added a third choice of "Both", and added the number of written responses reflecting both into the total. I will also mark the Thread header as "Revised". Hope this helps get the info you are looking for.

I voted "both" since I have had both and each looks good in a different way - personally, I think the cropped looks a little more elegant, handsome, whatever you want to call it, and I think the floppy is just so darn cute and gives more expression.

I am considering the next time going back with the floppy ear. We have always had good luck with our ear crops, but it is a rather expensive and time consuming procedure (thinking of the several return vet visits) to go through just for a certain look.

Looks like there are more floppy ears than cropped ears on BW, don't you think?

:D My 3 dogs all have natural ears. I live in Australia and ear cropping here is illegal. I prefer natural ears for myself as I would not have the time it takes to look after cropped ears - with regards to strapping etc.

All boxers look beautiful - cropped and natural!

Tina's ears are floppy because I decided on that long befor I got her. In Russia cropping is allowed and it's up to owners to choses whether they want ears of heir dogs cropped or natural. And it's not a problem if you show a boxer with natural ears. But I thought wouldn't like to expose my girl to a surgery. She is lovely anyway
