Obedience

[Skidmoretx]

I would like to enter my boxer in the obedience part of the akc but I can't find out if they have to have their ears cropped. I know it sounds silly but I'm new to this and my puppy is very obedient and smart and why not show him off and make him into a wonderful and respectful adult boxer. Can someone please help me and point me into the right direction? Please and thank you.

According to this it doesn't matter but I'm not an expert.

They definitely don't have to have their ears or tails docked or cropped to compete in obedience.

I did a lot of obedience with my first boxer, Markus. He was the best behaved dog. Unfortunately, he didn't really like it, so I started doing agility instead.
