the ONLY "functional" purpose for cropping (especially the larger show & pet crops) is to make the dog LOOK more intimidating. the only remotely functional crop is the very short ones that used to be put on pit dogs. in a protection dog it is pointless as grabbing the ears only means the dog will get a sizable chunk of your inner forearm.
if cropping really had a function all the old gamekeepers dogs would have been cropped & most weren't.
once again NOT AT ALL opposed to cropping, just believe in truth in advertising.
