He's beautiful Nick! I like his looks without the cropped ears too, gives him a softer appearance with more expression in his face, you can read him a little better seeing what those ears are up to! Plus, I'm just not one for cropped ears, the dogs just look scarey, lol, I know that's what they're supposed to look like, but it takes away from the rest of their beauty, IMHO! I think you've done a beautiful job with him!
