just a quick question. i recently aquired a lovely flashy brindle bitch from my equine vet as he was moving and couldn't keep her she is eight months old and has natural ears.
i would like to show her but the last i knew the akc didn't allow natural eard dogs in the ring. it has been a while of course since i have followed the rules and regulations. what i would like to know is does the akc now except non-cropped dogs in the show ring? at eight months old she is to old to have this done and even if i did have it done i don't think they would stand anways. i also think at her age it would be a painful procedure. all help and info on this matter would be of the greatest help.

American Boxer Club is the parent club for Boxers, they write the standard for Boxers not AKC. The standard has not been changed BUT there has been three natural earred Boxers finished in the US, in the last five years. All have been finished by the same handler. If your bitch is really nice, it night be worth a shot.
It might take longer and may never happen but it'd probably be a lot of fun trying.
