Boerboel and Cropped Ears?

Hello everyone,

I am looking to buy a dog in the next year. I have had 4 bull mastiffs and this will be the first boerboel that I buy, so as you can guess I am trying to research everything possible about them. I did run across something that confused me a bit, I saw a picture of a boerboel with cropped ears, is this a common practice with them? I couldn't find anything else on it so I was hoping somebody on here might be able to shed some light on this. Thanks in advance.

Nope like Ang said I haven't ever seen a cropped Boerboel so unless it was one done (for a medical reason like it was torn or something) I would run in the other direction.

I have seen a picture of a cropped boerboel but as said above it was due to medical issues.
