Unless you want to show the dog, cropping is not necessary. It's been banned in several European countries, and talk is that it may be dropped as a show requirement here. Potential problems include a bad crop,(too short or long), uneven ears (one stands different from the other giving the dog a lop sided look), and also increased need for cleaning. Prick eared dogs generally need to have their ears cleaned out more frequently. A good crop looks nice, but there are risks.

We have 2 boxers and we breed the mama dog. Both of ours have cropped ears and have never had a problem. It's actually supposed to keep the ears cleaner and more accessible to cleaning. Never had one ear infection with either dog! I like the dogs with the regular ears also. It's more a matter of preference. I personally like the cropped look better. As long as you have a trust worthy vet who knows how to do it then you should be ok. We currently have 7 puppies that are 4 weeks old right now they're way cute. Mostly fawn I want a brindle bad!

we are going to leave his ears natural, i just can't see putting him through that when we are probably not going to make him a show dog. here another cute pic of him trying to bite the air coming out of the fan

They're not so bad when they're feedin off the mama. Right when you switch them to puppy food it turns into hell. There's so much to clean up. I told my parents if I'm gonna help I want some of the money they make lol. They just laughed at me and said yeah right. They're a lot of work but it all pays off in the end they're cute and fun to play with. You get to see them develop little personalities and everything that's always fun.
