Sorry dude, unless you're fighting dogs (also illegal) there is no good reason to crop a dogs ears. Floppy ears HELP with hearing, that's why they evolved the way they did. They also, in some breeds, act to catch scents and send them to the nose for more focused tracking, etc.
There are, however, some real reasons for cropping a dog's tail. For dogs doing cart work, breeds with powerful but thinly boned tails that will break and....that's about it I think.
