See now a boxer can go either way, but when dobermans don't have cropped ears (and especially when they don't have docked tails), they are too easily mistaken for a black and tan coonhound, especially with people who aren't very familiar with the breed.
I personally don't have a boxer, but I'd have to agree with your wife: uncropped makes a boxer look "cute", whereas cropped makes a boxer look "macho" or "tough." I guess it all depends more on what look you're going for :)

I like the uncropped ones but, dogs with floppy ears get ear problems easily and it can be hard to take care of once they get one.
unless your dog is a show dog, I wouldn't get it done. What's the point, just keep the ears cleaned.

When they are born they are actually uncropped, people do that so that their dog looks fierced, but if you decide trust me its a painful procedure for the poor dog.Some countries do not allow this its ban.

I like both. Cropped can have a sleek, clean look, and floppy has a cute, puppy look. I don't think it's wrong to have a puppy's ears cropped..its like a baby getting their umbulical cord cut. But i do understand why you would have second thoughts about getting done..it's different when its your own puppy dog.
