European Dogs vs. American Dogs, Round 2

Uncropped Great Dane.

Cropped Great Dane. Check out how different this crop is from the pit crop in the last post! Dane crops are, as I said, "show crops" - they're done out of tradition, and to give the dog an authoritative, regal presence. Pit crops are severe to make the dogs look frightening and "tough."
