Having a moral dilemma.
The dilemma being I love a good crop, I think it can look fantastic and really gives that regal look - but of course it would just be purely for looks. Being merle he cannot be shown in conformation classes, but I do plan on doing obedience and other dog sports.
I have a 4 year old merle as well, ears natural, I love his ears and of course he's still super handsome, but there is definitely slightly more maintenance to his ears than the stand up ears of my kelpie. (I'm sure though all the taping of cropped ears evens that out.)
He is only 4 weeks now, so lots of time to decide.
What do you think? Would you, or have you cropped a merle or other non standard coloured Dane? Tell me your opinions and thoughts - and yes, you can tell me you'd think I was a bad person!
