Beautiful shot Julie. These ears look really long (tall!) to me. Do you agree?

I must admit that I have always loved the look of Danes, Dobs,Boxers etc with the cropped ears. But the older I get the less I like it. Just saw a service Dobbie that was a rescue. Some idiot cropped the ears himself with a scissors!

Even after living in England and going to Crufts, it was not what I was used to seeing. I wish more would show natural and we would get used to that look. Even stranger was seeing an Airedale (which I grew up with) having a natural tail.

Anyone else want to voice in on the crop/dock issue? Okay, it is not photography.
