What a laugh! But I think it's wicked to crop the bulldog's ears. They look much better with the full ones.

I'm a Brit and those dogs look like American-bred bulldogs for the most part - especially those with cropped ears.

Seems as if this the appropriate place to add that those of us involved in US humane animal welfare work have been educating against tail docking and ear cropping for decades.
Although it's been outlawed in the UK, new concerns that illegal, painful mutilation has increased are growing.
April 2018 - Pet owners told to avoid buying dogs with cropped ears, as illegal trend grows
An RSPCA Special Operations Unit (SOU) officer - who works covertly and so cannot be identified for operational reasons - said: “Dogs with cropped ears are coming to our attention for lots of reasons. Many are being advertised on social media while others are being spotted at breed shows.
There has been a 157 per cent increase in reported cases of ear cropping.
“We believe ear cropping is being carried out illegally in this country. And we also believe that many breeders, sellers and buyers are sending dogs abroad to have their ears cropped before bringing them back home.”
Dr. Samantha Gaines, RSPCA dog welfare expert, said: “Ear cropping is a process where ears are removed or surgically altered, usually for the purposes of appearance.
“It’s a painful and wholly unnecessary process which does not benefit the dog in any way and can, in fact, be detrimental to their health, behaviour and welfare.
“We do not believe dogs should be mutilated for cosmetic purposes and we’d urge people not to buy a dog with cropped ears as - whether the process was carried out here or overseas - they still will have undergone this very painful process.”
