As Rhonda said,
If done right they are beautiful, but in my opinion, very few vets are qualified to crop ears correctly.
And I've seen way too many badly cropped ears, and not just on Danes, I'm including ALL breeds that normally have cropped ears.
Personally, I like uncropped ears, and I've had Great Danes, Dobermans, Mini Pins, and Pit Bull Terriers..................I think uncropped ears add to their personialties.
