give you a referral.

Why not consider keeping your boxer's ears natural? I think they are cute

Make sure you do your research. I second going to the breeder - if they show they should be able to help you out with a referral.

Cropping is a waste and has no physical advantage.Are you wanting your pup to just look different?The more natural a Boxer looks,the better.

That is your opinion. Cropping is a PERSONAL choice....

Just make sure the vet knows what he is doing, I have seen some Boxers with horrible looking ears and it is a shame. I like both looks, Torque and Cam-mee's parents had their ears cropped and they were awesome looking. I looked into having Torque's ears done, but there is only one vet in town who does Boxer ears and he crops them tiny like a Pit-Bull's. So floppy it is for us! Good luck!

There is nothing so awful than the reminder that cropping is nothing more than a cometic procedure than a boxer (or any breed for that matter) w/ a botched crop job.

Thumbs up

I think cropping is totally a decision on your part. We're thinking about cropping our pup's ears because we like the way it looks and we think it would just enhance his appearance. This is just my opinion, but I think, keyword think, that with their ears floppy they remain with that pup look. It's cute when they're young but when they're older, I think that with the cropped ears, it just enhances the look of the Boxer. If you want it done to your pup, then I say go for it and find the best possible place to do it and take very good care of your pup. It's ultimately up to you if how you want your pup to look whether that be floppy or cropped. Either way, I'm pretty sure your dog will look amazing!
