You puppy is very cute and has lovely ears, I would leave just well enough alone. I did crop my previous boxer and I can tell you it is a lot of work and there is no guarantee that the ears will stand correctly. I taped Markus' ears for a year and one of them never stood correctly.

Good luck!
Ditto! I had Barron's ears cropped and it was a lot of work and discomfort involved. I did not crop Zeus' ears and I have to tell you.....I just LOVE the floppy ears! Zeus absolutely loves a good ear rub. I recently saw a boxer with cropped ears and was not impressed. His ears were way too short for his face. I would leave well enough alone.
