To crop or not to crop-please keep your opinions to yourself!!

Where is PA are you located? WE are in the Philadelphia area.

We are in central PA-just outside Altoona. Are there any bashes coming up near either of us-we haven't heard of any and would love to have Tyler meet more boxers!!

I would love to meet new boxers as well. We haven't met any yet!

 

[Indy B's Mom]

We could find out if there's a park midway between us and possibly meet up or if you guys ever travel this way or we head your direction it would be great to meet up! We have friends with 2 boxers who would probably love to join in, too. Oh, my DH loves your pup's name-thinks it's the coolest name he's heard!! Let us know if you get a chance to meet up and play-we would love it!

Not to crop! I love the floppy ears. I honestly think it is cruel to crop the ears. I mean can you imagine humans saying..oh your ears are too big..you need to crop them...

If they were supposed to have small pointy ears it they would do it naturally, like boston terriers. I just think it is a unnecessary and looks really painful. Plus they are soo much cuter with floppy ears.

Bella just loves when I rub my hands all over her ears!!!

Floppy Ears

Duchess has natural ears, and would never ever have a boxer with cropped ears. I don't like they way they look all chopped up!!

I think Harrisburg would be the best area. How far is that from you?

Please move over to the Boxer Bash Forum to set up playdates, versus this thread

Thanks

Just some lady once at Petsmart that was grouchy and was like "have fun keeping his ears clean, my dogs' are always gross"

You should have said, "Ya know, If you fed your dog a good quality food your dogs ears might not always be gross".
Kosmo also has natural ears and they used to be yucky from time to time before we started to feed him Wellness. Now we never have a problem.

I love both looks but we chose to keep Kosmo's ears natural. Boxers are beautiful either way

I don't think Indy B's Mom intended this to be a debated or offensive thread she was saying that some PEOPLE should keep their opinions to themselves. She isn't saying that cropping is bad or good. It's all about the PEOPLE. I like the look of good crops. The bad ones don't seem worth it at all. The history is not relevant.

Buster has floppers and it was a personal decision. I love him all the same. And when I see another boxer - cropped or not, I love them, too.
