Natural or cropped

We were going to have Phoebe cropped, well that was the intention, after much deliberation we decided to keep her natural; this picture confirms my choice, so many Danes sadly are lost whilst having their ears cropped.

So why do we do it? Well mainly for vanity... in the USA it is thought to be the norm...... showing a natural is much harder than a cropped, with probably only 10% being natural..... In Europe cropping is banned, maybe eventually in the USA it will be the same one day, then and only then will judging be a more balanced art.....
