Cropped ears in any show ring is a SERIOUS FAULT and you would be laughed out of the ring (no offense). Plus, it's ears wouldn't look natural, rather they would look like a dobe's. At 2-5 months, don't worry about ears, worry about raising your pup to become the dog you want her to be, and make sure all those baby teeth are shed! Ears are only cosmetic.
