Crop the ears or leave them?
Debating on weather or not to crop or leave his ears, he's 9 weeks old.

X's 2. Why take the risk and put the dog through the pain just for "a look". The pup looks great with all of it's ears intact.

If I had the patience for a puppy, and it was male, I would probably crop. But it's really just personal preference.

I would definitely leave them. Look at those adorable floppy ears!
(Also, I find it easier to read their body language with the full ears as you can then see the slightest movement in the ears)

I'd crop, but that's just me! If you do decide to crop, make sure you do your research into a vet who knows what they are doing! There is a lot of aftercare, so keep that in mind. Ears should be done before 12 wks of age, also.
Cute pup!

Hi Zack! Interested to find out what you ended up deciding; cropped or not cropped?

I'd leave them. I wouldn't want the aftercare. Even though pits seem to be almost immune to pain, I wouldn't put em through it anyways.

I think it's totally up to you but I would leave them! He looks adorable as is, just make sure to clean them on a weekly basis
