to crop or not to crop

[boxer]

Cropping or not cropping has been optional in Canada for a long time, so you're unlikely to have quite the same issues with potential bias Actually, it is one of the few countries whose standard describes both the natural and cropped ear There have numerous uncropped champions in Canada - so to answer your question, yes, providing the dog is of sufficient quality you have a very realistic chance of winning without cropped ears in Canada.

hi! i just have to add in my 2 cents! personally, i love uncropped, BUT the biggest reason i like it more than cropped is that cropped requires a lot of work to make it perfect. and also from looking at all your boxer piccys on this site, i have found that the cropped ears don't look as nice as natural ears on older boxers. just my opinion! i know that we all would love our boxers even if they didn't have ears (god forbid), but if you are just thinking about aesthetics, i would go with natural. good luck, whatever you decide to do!

Oh my goodness. I will just have to make sure Booker T (10-1/2 years old) and Crystal (11-1/2 years old) do not hear you.

Let me take this opportunity to introduce you to two very older Boxers that look fabulous with their cropped ears!
Crystal (dam of 3 AKC Champions) and Booker T
